Basis of Presentation and Preparation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of all the subsidiaries and investments in which the Company holds a controlling interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for a complete set of consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU effective November 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. FASB ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity This amendment simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models currently required under GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas.

Concentrations and Geographic Information	Concentrations and Geographic Information Lemons procured from third-party growers were 57% and 64% of the Company's lemon supply in the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and were 51% and 60% of the Company's lemon supply in the nine months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, of which one third-party grower was 10% of the lemon supply for the nine months ended July 31, 2021. The Company sells the majority of its avocado production to Calavo and sells a majority of its oranges and specialty citrus to a third-party packinghouse. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to revenues and account receivables are limited due to a large, diverse customer base. Two individual customers represented 17% and 13% of revenues, respectively, for the nine months ended July 31, 2021. No individual customer represented more than 10% of accounts receivable, net as of July 31, 2021. During the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had approximately $578,000 and $643,000, respectively, of total sales in Chile by Fruticola Pan de Azucar S.A.

The total consideration to be received is approximately $3,900,000 over an 8-year term in 16 equal installments. Payments to be received are secured by FGF’s interest in land parcels at the Santa Clara ranch and consist of a $1,200,000 note receivable and $2,700,000 of royalty payments. There was no material gain or loss recognized on the transaction. Trapani Fresh continues to own and operate the 1,200-acre Santa Clara ranch and now sells the lemons it grows to FGF, who packs, markets, and sells the fruit to its export customers. As a result of this transaction, Trapani Fresh now recognizes lemon revenues at the market price less packinghouse charges to harvest, pack and market the fruit. During the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had approximately $710,000 and $9,626,000, respectively, of total sales in Argentina by Trapani Fresh.

Real Estate Development (continued) East Area I, Retained Property and East Area II In fiscal year 2005, the Company began capitalizing the costs of two real estate development projects east of Santa Paula, California, for the development of 550 acres of land into residential units, commercial buildings and civic facilities. On November 10, 2015 (the “Transaction Date”), the Company entered into a joint venture with The Lewis Group of Companies (“Lewis”) for the residential development of its East Area I real estate development project. To consummate the transaction, the Company formed Limoneira Lewis Community Builders, LLC (“LLCB” or “Joint Venture”) as the development entity, contributed its East Area I property to LLCB and sold a 50% interest in LLCB to Lewis for $20,000,000. The Company and the Joint Venture also entered into a Retained Property Development Agreement on the Transaction Date (the "Retained Property Agreement"). Under the terms of the Retained Property Agreement, the Joint Venture transferred certain contributed East Area I property, which is entitled for commercial development, back to the Company (the "Retained Property") and arranged for the design and construction of certain improvements to the Retained Property, subject to certain reimbursements by the Company. The balance in Retained Property and East Area II includes estimated costs incurred by and reimbursable to LLCB of $5,600,000 and $5,300,000 at July 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively, which is included in payables to related parties. In January 2018, the Joint Venture entered into a $45,000,000 unsecured Line of Credit Loan Agreement and Promissory Note (the “Loan”) with Bank of America, N.A. to fund early development activities. The Loan originally was scheduled to mature in January 2020 and was extended to February 22, 2021. In February 2021, this loan was extended to February 22, 2023 with an option to extend to February 22, 2024, subject to certain conditions. The interest rate on the Loan is LIBOR plus 2.85% and is payable monthly. The Loan contains certain customary default provisions and the Joint Venture may prepay any amounts outstanding under the Loan without penalty. The Joint Venture had an outstanding balance of zero as of July 31, 2021. In February 2018, certain principals from Lewis and by the Company guaranteed the obligations under the Loan. The guarantee shall continue in effect until all of the Loan obligations are fully paid and the guarantors are jointly and severally liable for all Loan obligations in the event of default by the Joint Venture. The $1,080,000 estimated value of the guarantee was recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and is included in other long-term liabilities with a corresponding value in equity in investments. The extension had no impact on the Company's Loan guarantee value. Additionally, a Reimbursement Agreement was executed between the Lewis guarantors and the Company, which provides for unpaid liabilities of the Joint Venture to be shared pro-rata by the Lewis guarantors and the Company in proportion to their percentage interest in the Joint Venture. The Company made contributions to the Joint Venture of zero and $2,800,000 in the nine months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Through July 31, 2021, the Joint Venture has closed the sales of the initial residential lots representing 556 residential units.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share	Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of the dilutive effect of conversion of preferred stock. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of conversion of unvested, restricted stock and preferred stock. The computations for basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Basic net income (loss) per common share: Net income (loss) applicable to common stock $ 3,580 $ 2,184 $ 1,054 $ (9,377) Effect of unvested, restricted stock (15) (17) (50) (50) Numerator: Net income (loss) for basic EPS 3,565 2,167 1,004 (9,427) Denominator: Weighted average common shares-basic 17,461 17,623 17,439 17,607 Basic net income (loss) per common share $ 0.20 $ 0.12 $ 0.06 $ (0.54) Diluted net income (loss) per common share: Numerator: Net income (loss) for diluted EPS $ 3,705 $ 2,309 $ 1,004 $ (9,427) Weighted average common shares–basic 17,461 17,623 17,439 17,607 Effect of dilutive unvested, restricted stock and preferred stock 782 874 — — Denominator: Weighted average common shares–diluted 18,243 18,497 17,439 17,607 Diluted net income (loss) per common share $ 0.20 $ 0.12 $ 0.06 $ (0.54) Diluted earnings (losses) per common share are computed using the more dilutive method of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method. Unvested stock-based compensation awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends as participating shares are included in computing earnings per share. The Company’s unvested, restricted stock awards qualify as participating shares. The Company excluded 147,000 and 225,000, unvested, restricted shares, as calculated under the treasury stock method, from its computation of diluted earnings (losses) per share for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 146,000 and 187,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) represents all changes in a company’s net assets, except changes resulting from transactions with stockholders. Other comprehensive income or loss primarily includes foreign currency translation items and defined benefit pension items. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income is reported as a component of the Company's stockholders' equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and related ASUs This amendment requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU effective November 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. FASB ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity This amendment simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models currently required under GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas.
