Farm	Description	Regional Organic	Large Photo
Lehman Orchards, Niles MI	Honeycrisp Apple Sweet and crunchy. For the foley, or sound effect artist, the crunch of these apples can simulate the sound of a crashing tree.	Regional
Lehman Orchards, Niles MI	Empire Apple New York is the Empire state and apples are the state fruit. These babies had Red Delicious and McIntosh apples for parents.	Regional
Lehman Orchards, Niles MI	Jonagold Apple Introduced in 1968 by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, NY, the Jonagold has become a rising star in apple-dom. Crossed from the JONAthan and the GOLDen Delicious, this apple has thin skin, a honey sweetness, and creamy flesh.	Regional
California	Cara Cara Orange What looks like a regular orange on the outside may be a Cara Cara once peeled. This normal-looking Californian orange has a pink flesh inside and a refreshing taste that is orange, but with something more.
California	Tangerine All tangerines are a kind of Mandarin orange. They hail originally from Asia, but have been grown in North America for over 100 years. Tangerines are seedless and very much like Clementines but easier to peel and somewhat sweeter. Zip the peel to receive a refreshing scent that will chase away the winter blues. And, of course, Tangerines are high in Vitamin C to give you a boost for the cold season as well.
Florida	Navel Orange An orange with an Innie. Navels are aptly named. Native to Brazil they've been cultivated in Riverside CA since the dawn of the citrus boom in the 1870s. Easy to peel and breaks into sections superbly, this orange is practically seedless.
California	Blood Orange Don’t be alarmed by this fruit’s blood red interior. The taste is excellent — think orange with a tart hint of berry. Blood Oranges are native to the Mediterranean.
Washington	Granny Smith Apple A firm and crisp green apple. When you think of the traditional tart apple, Granny Smith is it. Refreshing and a wonderful compliment to cheese.
Florida	Grapefruit Cut a Red Flame in half and behold the pallet of sunrise colors. Bright with wake up colors and taste. Red grapefruits are an excellent source of Vit C, lycopene and fiber. Grapefruit can interfere with the absorption of some prescription medication, check the label.
South America	Banana Here at the FruitGuys, we like to dress up like bananas, because we love bananas! A perfect food, only 110 calories, 4g fiber and 1g of protein and high in potassium and Vitamin C. We love the elegant and easy-to-open packaging. Plus you can use a banana to make silly phone calls.
