Farm	Description	Regional Organic
South Carolina	Yellow Peach Peaches were probably first domesticated about 4000 years ago in China. By cultivating and passing the knowledge and seedlings down the Silk Road we now benefit from thousands of varieties of peaches. Mark Twain reminds us: “Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."	Regional Organic
California	Avocado The Resplendent Quetzal bird has vibrant color and 3 foot long train. Its domain is the Cloud Forests and it sups on avocados. Slice open an avocado, knock out the pit and scoop up the velvety flesh and let this fruit take you from the office and into an exotic jungle.	Organic
California	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!	Organic
Washington	Ginger Gold Apple This early-ripening variety is often the first fresh eating apple of the year. Ginger Golds originated from a chance seeding on a Virginia farm in the late 1960s.	Organic
California	White Nectarine Peaches with out the fuzz! Actually, nectarines ARE peaches but with a recessive gene that makes them a little sweeter and with a smooth skin. Cut down the seam, twist and separate: with one bite you can prove Mendel’s genetics and enjoy a sweet-tasting fruit at the same.	Organic
California	Dapple Dandy Pluot A sweet plum-apricot flavored pluot. Beautifully dappled skin. These pluots contain fiber and complex sugars for sustained energy, and the taste is amazing.	Organic
California	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.”	Organic
California	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.	Organic
