Farm	Description	Regional Organic	Small Large
Preservation Harvest, Exeter CA	Simka Plum Heart shaped plum with a gold underneath deep purple skin. An American classic stemmed from imported Japanese plum varieties.	Regional Organic
Olson Family Farms, Kingsburg CA	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
Coke Farms, San Juan Bautista CA	Strawberry "Strawberry Fields For-ever." Strawberries are a member of the rose family and like their cousin Rose evoke sentiment. They are after all heart-shaped. The strawberry is very delicate, it must be hand picked and rushed to a cooler. So delicate, a drop of rain could bruise the fruit.	Regional Organic	Large Box Only
Jelich Ranch, Portola Valley CA	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.”	Regional Organic
Coco Ranch, Davis CA	Gala Apple Sweet and mild. Somewhat thin skinned. Striped. Originated in New Zealand from momma Golden Delicious and poppa Orange Delicious.	Organic
