Our Family has been in the Esrogim business for several generations beginning with our grandfather, Rabbi Yehoshua Ludmir, a native of Safad , a great Talmid Chacham, sage and scholar in Yerushalayim, who began working with Esrogim over 65 years ago as a young man. His Domain was Jerusalem where he became famous as an expert and 'maven' on Esrogim. His brothers owned Esrog orchards and exported their Esrogim all over the world.
My father Rabbi Shimon Ludmir, began to export Esrogim with his brother Rabbi Mordechai Ludmir OBM over 30 years ago his expertise is with pure Esrogim that have not been grafted with any other fruit(lemon). He has been known to export ungrafted Esrogim from Israel, and has planted Esrogim with his own hands

My father has worked in the Esrog orchard, growing them, cultivating them, cutting them, sorting and marketing them. He has also cultivated and replanted Yemenite Esrogim which is a unique type of Esrog, some people use only these.

My family continues to follow in our father's and grandfather's footsteps. We honor this beautiful fruit that enhances our Sukkot Yom Tov. Many of our holy ancestors have sacrificed their very food just to obtain an Esrog.

There are many Jewish laws concerning the Esrog, its perfection's and flaws, and these laws decide whether they are permitted or prohibited for use. Those of us who have been brought up with Esrogim have these laws inculcated in us since childhood, and we can recognize an Esrog's origin and roots just by looking at it. Our family has been renowned for many generations, and it is known that we are accountable and trustworthy. When you make a blessing on one of our Esrogim you know that you have not made a blessing in vain.
