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".

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.

Simka Plum

Heart shaped plum with a gold underneath deep purple skin. An American classic stemmed from imported Japanese plum varieties.

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!

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.”

Gala Apple

Sweet and mild. Somewhat thin skinned. Striped. Originated in New Zealand from momma Golden Delicious and poppa Orange Delicious.
