Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 11133 covers establishments growing noncitrus fruits such as apples, grapes, berries, and peaches, or tree nuts such as pecans and almonds, or combinations of these crops. The boundary with citrus farming is clear: establishments primarily growing oranges are classified in Orange Groves, while those growing other citrus fruits like lemons, grapefruits, or tangerines are classified in Citrus (except Orange) Groves. Only when noncitrus fruits and tree nuts together form the primary production, with no single fruit or nut family dominating, does an establishment belong in this code.
