Red wine, chocolate, and berries? Oh my
By Rebecca Taggart

Time for this year’s installment of that Fall classic:
“As The World Tilts”

(SCENE: FADE IN – A FruitGuys crate sits on an office kitchen counter; orange-bristly sunlight streams in through the window)

Scarlet Peach: “Rhett Bartlett, my pear.”
Rhett Bartlett: “Yes, my peach.”
Scarlet Peach: “I’m weaker now than before and. . .”
Rhett Bartlett: “Don’t speak my peach for fall is fast upon us and you will bruise too easily and your sugar will grow weaker and weaker.”
Scarlet Peach: “I have only a short time left. Rhett, when I’m gone, will you find another?”
Rhett Bartlett: “Um . . . Well . . .It has already happened.” Find out what happens to Scarlet and Rhett here.

Asian Pears
East-West Farms Raise Profile of “Apple Pear”
By Heidi Lewis

Only two out of ten Americans have ever tasted Asian pears, those round apple-looking pears, according to Joel Spira, president of Subarashii Kudamono Farms in Coopersburg, PA, the east coast’s premier Asian pear farm. That may change thanks to the efforts of Spira and West coast farmer Torrey Olson of Gabriel Farm in Sebastopol, CA. Read about the farmers of one of our favorite fall fruits, the Asian pear, here.

Try our TakeHome case and you’ll receive organic fruits and veggies delivered to you at work to take home, or directly to your house. The easy-to-carry case includes two free recipes each week.

Campus life can be hectic, which means eating healthy isn’t always a priority for college students. It’s common to skip meals between classes, choose fast-food options in the dining hall, and eat junk food as a late night snack. Help your scholar kick these unhealthy habits by sending farm fresh fruit every week directly to the dorm room.

Filled with a delicious seasonal fruit mix, The FruitGuys DormSnack gives your student a quick and easy option to stay healthy and focused all year long.

Dear DormSnack,
I just wanted to write to tell you how much my daughter has enjoyed her delivery of fruit. Not only has she told me numerous times that it was the best fruit ever but so have all of her dorm mates that she shared with... Thanks again for a great product and excellent quality.
