Sommerfeld Apple

Discovered in a Gala and Fuji orchard, assumed to be a cross of both of these celebrity apples. Yellow with a red striping. A California original.

Chojuru Asian Pear

Ripe Chojuro Asian pears are known for their delicious, butterscotch flavor. Asian pears are sometimes mistaken for apples because of their crispness and round shape.

Bosc Pear

The elegant Bosc pear is distinguished by its dark gold skin and cinnamon russeting. These pear's ancestors hail from Belgium and so speak Walloon. To check for ripeness, first greet your pear "Diè wåde, comint vos dalez?". Then gently press the stem end, a slight yield means it's ripe. Slice or eat in the hand and bid "Arvèy".

Royal Gala Apple

August Fire Yellow Nectarine

Peaches without the fuzz! Actually, nectarines ARE peaches but contain a recessive gene that makes them a little sweeter. These have a smooth skin.

Black Kat Pluot

Black Kat Pluot is named after its color, which is actually more purple than black. Purple cat, purple cat; I never hope to see one; but I can tell you, anyhow, I'd rather see than be one.

20th Century Asian Pear

The 20th Century Asian Apple Pear, or Nijisseiki pear, was introduced in 1898, cultivated from chance seedlings found in Matsudo City in Japan. This green-yellow pear has become one of the most widely grown Asian apple pears in the world and has complex flavors that make eating it a real treat. It is wonderfully crisp and juicy with notes of vanilla and butterscotch at first bite. A complex pear, its taste changes as you eat the fruit closer to the core, finishing with an unusual tartness mixed with a refreshing sorbet-like texture. Put them in the refrigerator on hot summer days as they are super juicy (even when very firm).

Arctic Pride White Nectarine

Get direct access to sweetness, cousin to the white peach sans the fuzz. With names containing Pearl, Diamond, Arctic, Fire, Bright many white nectarines add bling to the summer months.

Valencia Orange

Citrus waves are rolling in like an endless summer, brah. The primo Valencia is old-school orange. A tangy treat to take down the hall to the dawn patrol. Slice into sections for orange smiles all around – and let the sunshine in!

Joanna Red Plum

This red plum variety has a unique appearance with sweet, juicy red flesh. Red plum, red plum, red plum. All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy. Take a fruit break today.

Gravenstein Apple

The Gravenstein is the vanguard of California’s apple season and the hallmark crop of Sebastopol in Sonoma County. Every year Sebastopol throws this tart, old-fashioned apple two parties – one for its blossom in April, and one for the harvest in August.

Bartlett Pear

The dear Bartlett pear was originated in Berkshire England by a schoolmaster named Stair. He sold his cuttings to a horticulturist called Williams, who gave this new pear his name. When the pear immigrated to the New World, a nurseryman called Bartlett laid claim to the fruit. So English folk may know this pear as Williams, and Americans as Bartlett. And they say “paaahr”, and we say “pear.”

Scarlet Royal Grapes

A true aristocrat - loyal subjects must wait in the hot summer sun for this fancy grape to show up. Elongated deep purple berry - this grape is a prince among table grapes.

The Chinese believed that peaches could confer immortality but the FruitGuys only promise that they’re high in antioxidants Vitamin A and C. “Eat a peach” say the Allman Brothers and so do we.

McIntosh Apple

This is the apple that fell on Newton’s AND Steve Wozniak’s head! The very apple that started it all came from a tree that was scorched when Canadian Farmer John McIntosh’s farm burned in 1884. Every McIntosh Apple is descended from his trees, spreading lovely apples and iPods the world over.
