Fruit Care & Quality

Place ripe pears in the refrigerator.
They will keep 5–7 days.

We stand behind everything we sell.
If you’re unhappy with the quality, email [email protected] and we’ll replace it or refund you.

This is normal for satsumas.
They naturally loosen inside their peel, which can make the fruit feel “puffy.”
This doesn’t affect flavor or quality.

Concorde, for example, stays firm even when ripe and has a unique vanilla-like flavor.
Each variety has its own texture and ripening style.

Fruit is influenced by nature.
Temperature, rainfall, sunlight, and crop load all affect size, sweetness, color, and texture.

We work directly with our farm partners to ensure the best possible harvest each season.

Yes.
Citrus does not continue to ripen after picking.
We leave it on the tree until just before harvest so it arrives ready to eat.

Depending on the harvest, you may get:

• Concorde
• Bosc
• Comice
• Warren
• Taylor’s Gold
• Red or Green D’Anjou

Variety depends on what is being harvested the week your box is packed.

Some medications are affected by grapefruit and certain citrus.
Check with your doctor if you have concerns.
This includes pummelos and ruby red grapefruit.

They are left on the tree longer than typical grocery store grapefruit.
More time on the tree means higher sugar content and better flavor.

A pummelo is the largest citrus fruit, with a sweet, mild flavor similar to grapefruit but less tart.
It is ready to eat when it arrives and won’t ripen further.

About 3–4 weeks in the fridge.

Let them ripen

Lay them out for 1-3 days on your counter stem-side down without stacking them. The warmer the room temperature is, the quicker they will soften. Peaches are ready to eat when they are soft to the touch and have a strong, peachy aroma.

Be gentle and wash

Be careful when carrying your peaches, they bruise very easily! Try to use any bruised or softer fruit first. Our peaches are already washed, but we always recommend a quick rinse.

Don’t refrigerate until…

Do NOT put the peaches in the refrigerator before they have softened – they can turn mealy. After they have softened on your counter, you can refrigerate them safely for 1-2 weeks to extend their life.

The same goes for peaches ordered for home delivery. However, they may be ready sooner since they start to soften when they leave our warehouse.

Nope, green peel is normal in fresh citrus and does not affect flavor.

Only after they soften.
Refrigerating too early can cause a mealy texture.

Once soft, peaches can be refrigerated for 1–2 weeks.

• Up to 1 month on the counter
• Up to 6 months in the fridge
• Up to 1 year in the freezer
Store them in an airtight container.

We intentionally deliver peaches firm, so they travel without bruising.
They will soften naturally at room temperature.

They are this season’s crop, lightly roasted with a lower-salt brine.
Store brands can be multiple years old and heavily salted.

Peach size varies by:

• Variety
• Weather
• Temperature swings
• Harvest timing

Tree-Ripe peaches come in many varieties throughout the season, so your box may look different from month to month.

Always store in an airtight container.

• 45 days on the counter
• 9–10 months in the fridge
• Up to 2 years in the freezer

Bring pecans to room temperature before using for the best flavor!
