About Tree-Ripe Fruit Co.
In 1990, Tree-Ripe Fruit Co. was born out of our founders desire to bring amazing fruit to the Midwest quickly and affordably. We were founded as Tree-Ripe Citrus Co. by Gordon Paine, and our company is a third-generation family business. In 2018 changed our name to Tree-Ripe Fruit Co. to reflect our love of all fruits.
At that time superior quality citrus was available by mail order, but it came with extremely high shipping prices. We changed that by working directly with farmers to make their fruit available directly to our customers.
We started small, with only a few locations, but it caught on like wildfire! Our customers immediately requested more fruit and we quickly realized that our new challenge was to find the right farmers growing the right fruit with as much passion as we had. Over the 30+ years we’ve been in business we’ve had the honor of growing our family of farmers all over the country and expanding our offerings to over 17 products including Georgia peaches and pecans, Michigan blueberries, Oregon pears, Wisconsin apples and more.
We are based in the Milwaukee, WI area. However, we visit over 200 midwest locations, including WI, IL, MN, IA, MI, MO, and NE. For a seasonal schedule of our fruit stops, check out our website at https://tree-ripe.com/fruit-stops/
Our approach to quality and delivery speed is something no grocery store can offer. This allows our partner farms to let their fruit ripen on the tree for days or weeks longer so it can develop its full flavor the way it’s supposed to. This is the key to why our fruit tastes better.
Because we can deliver to our customers within days of harvest, we don’t have to be concerned about ‘shelf life’ like grocery stores do. And we never have to put fruit in ‘cold storage,’ which means you get the freshest-tasting fruit possible!
Absolutely! All of our products are 100% guaranteed. This is because we’re so confident that you’ll love our fruit!
Of course, growing anything can be challenging. So, if we’ve missed the mark and you aren’t completely satisfied with your purchase, please let us know! Email us at [email protected], and we can arrange for a replacement product or a refund.
While it may not seem full, your fruit is packed to protect the fruit while it’s transported to you. For this reason, we normally pack our fruit in oversized boxes. However, we guarantee you are getting the amount of fruit you paid for!
If you have any concerns about how much fruit you received, or feel that you did not receive the correct amount, please let us know through our contact form or via email at [email protected].

First, we identify the region where the best version of a fruit is grown. Then, we seek out the best farms growing the best fruit. We spend considerable time in that fruit-growing region, learning as much as we can about how the fruit is grown and the challenges growers encounter. Next, we meet, speak, and visit with numerous growers who could be potential partners. We evaluate everything about the farms, from growing practices to how workers/pickers are treated. And of course, the quality of what they are producing!
Once we’ve done that, we select our partner farm and bring their best crops directly to our customers.
Our fruit is grown all over the country, from as far east as the Indian River coast in Florida to the foothills of Mount Hood in Oregon, and everywhere in between. Our current lineup includes fruits and nuts from: California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon, and Wisconsin.
Our peaches and blueberries are non-GMO and are non-organic, and minimally treated to protect crops. Our farms work very hard to exceed the standards for safe application of any pesticides and only do it as a last resort. Many of our farms practice integrated pest management (IPM), which takes a proactive approach that relies on common sense and environmentally-sensitive pest management practices.
We also offer a lineup of certified organic fruits from Dickinson Family Farms in Southern California. From citrus fruits to avocados, we’re happy to have an organic option for our customers.
We spend a great deal of time and research in selecting the farms that we work with, making sure that we can find the right partner that not only produces great tasting fruit but who cultivates sustainable practices for their land and team members whether organic or conventional.
Ordering & Shipping
You do not have to create an account to order. However, it is helpful to have an account so you can see your past orders, check your order status and save your billing information.
Thanks for signing up for our emails! Unfortunately, it does not mean you automatically have an account set up on our website to keep track of your orders. Please create an account by clicking “Login” at the top right of our website.
If you have ordered in the past, you would not automatically have an account unless you created one when you ordered. If you would like to create an account, please follow the instructions above. Please note: Creating an account will not show any past orders or orders placed while logged out of your account.
Our fruit is harvested to order during the peak part of each season so that your fruit is as fresh as possible.
During the fall and winter months, we usually receive one harvest a month, depending on the season. Therefore, we usually ship once a month during that time unless otherwise noted on our website when you place your order.
Over the summer, we ship out weekly during the peach season. Regardless of the season, when we have a shipping event, we like to ship out on a Monday so your order has the week to get to you!
The date noted on our website is the date it will be shipped, not the date of arrival. Please allow 1-5 business days from the ship date for your order to arrive. Allow extra time if ordered during a busy holiday shipping season. Some carriers do deliver after dark as late as 8 or 9 pm in some areas. Since it is becoming more uncommon for delivery drivers to knock or ring the doorbell, please check outside before turning in for the night during the week of expected delivery.
While the shipping confirmation emails are sent by our automated system, once and a while they do not make it to their destination. (Be sure to check spam boxes!) In that case, if you had placed an order, please be assured your order will ship out on the date noted at the time you ordered. That expected ship date does not change unless there is a delay out of our control (such as a weather delay)
We make every effort to package and wrap your fruit for safe transit. We ship our fruit directly to customers through UPS/FedEX and Spee-Dee Delivery Service depending on your home location.
A shipping date is noted on our website when ordering and at checkout so you know when you can expect to start watching for your fruit. Notifications are also sent to keep you informed as to where your order is at once shipped. We highly recommend watching for your fruit to be delivered as fresh fruit can be damaged by extreme temperatures. For best results, we encourage shipping to an address where someone can accept delivery, like a neighbor, a relative, or even your workplace.
In addition to that, we always guarantee our products! If you ever have any concerns about the condition of your fruit upon arrival, please reach out to us right away at [email protected]. Our customer service team will be happy to help!
Our fruit is picked-to-order by the best growers and delivered within days of harvest. Nearly all of our products are available for pre-order online for home delivery during the fruit’s peak season. Many times, pre-ordering opens a few weeks before a product is to be harvested and shipped to you. Make sure you are on our email list so we can keep you updated as to when preordering begins for each product.
Pre-ordering is only available online for products delivered to your home. We do not take any preorders for products picked up at a truck location.
We always expect to ship out on the date indicated online for the products you ordered. The one exception would be if the weather across the majority of the region would be too frigidly cold, (think single digits and below). In that situation, we will inform you when it will be shipped out.
Once you place your order, you will receive an email confirmation with your receipt and order number. From there, you will also receive an email notification when your order has shipped and when it is out for delivery. Be sure to check your spam boxes!
When your order has gone through, you should see an order number pop up on your screen. You should also receive an order confirmation email with your order number emailed to the address you provided.
Your receipt is emailed to you at the time you placed your order. Don’t worry, there are no invoices or receipts placed in the box.
If you are sending multiple orders to different people, you would have to create and pay for each separate order for each different shipping address. If you have more than 10 different orders to enter, please email us at [email protected] and we would be happy to assist.
At this time, our system is not set up to automatically generate any gift messages. However, at checkout, you could leave a very brief sentence in the “order notes(optional)” box located under shipping details. We will do our best to include your message whether it is on the shipping label under the recipient’s name or on a note put inside the box.
We do ask that you let your recipient know their order is coming and when to expect it so they can start watching for it. Since the receipt is emailed to the person who purchased the gift, there will not be any paperwork in the box stating who the gift is from.
We do not have any coupons currently. There is a box at checkout for coupons, however that is just built in there in case we were to ever have any in the future. You can proceed to checkout without filling in a coupon code. Most of our fruit is sold at bulk pricing so they are already a fantastic deal!
Absolutely! First try resetting your password on the login page using the email address you registered your account with. 
If that doesn’t work, you may need to register an account with your email address. Remember, simply placing an order in the past or being on our email list does not automatically register an account for you!

Our Pop-Up events are smaller events where we offer our fruit in smaller quantities. Larger boxes of Georgia peaches are not available at our Pop-Up locations. During our summer Pop-up events, for example, we offer 4lb. bags of Georgia peaches, 5lb boxes of Michigan blueberries, and 1lb bags of Georgia pecans and New Mexico pistachios.
Our Pop-Up locations include: select farmers’ markets, weekly locations at local businesses, and various one-time events. At the moment, our Pop-up events happen across the greater Milwaukee and Madison areas.
No, not at this time. In working with a perishable product that is dependent on many growing conditions, we do not feel that we can confidently accept pre-orders. However, we make sure to have as much fruit possible to service all of our customers! We rarely run out, and in these instances it is because of variables outside of our control such as a truck breakdown or lack of supply from the farm.
We do not have a retail store at this time. For a seasonal schedule of our fruit stops, check out our website at https://tree-ripe.com/fruit-stops/
2024 Summer pricing and sizes
Georgia peaches $52- 1/2 bushel box (approximately 25 pounds). Each box is filled by volume and can contain anywhere between 45-75 peaches depending on size.

You can find all of our event details on our Peach Stop page.
Most often, no. However, in rare situations we have had to limit purchases. There are many variables that can affect our supply of fruit outside our control, but we work tirelessly to do everything possible to make sure we have enough for as many people as possible.
For our summer Peach Stops, we do not take pre-orders at this time. Just come visit us and we can help you out!
Occasionally, we have special delivery events that would require a pre-order. These will be clearly communicated through our website and via email, so make sure you’re on our email list!
Farm Share Program
Farm Shares, also commonly referred to as a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), allow people to purchase fruit directly from farms. By purchasing a share with us, our members are making an upfront commitment to support our farms, which reduces pricing, supports our family owned and operated farms and lets you eat seasonally.
Seasonal boxes are shipped in January, March, July, and November. Specific ship dates are listed on the Farm Share Membership checkout page and are posted as soon as we have them, typically 2 weeks before we ship each box.
You can cancel your Farm Share Membership up to three weeks before your first box has shipped. Becoming a member is a financial commitment to our farms, which allows them to plan and grow fruit exclusively for our customers. If you have an issue with your order or there is an extenuating circumstance, please contact our customer experience team at [email protected].
Cut-off dates are listed on the Farm Share Membership checkout page are typically three weeks before we ship fruit. This helps ensure our farmers have enough time to plan and pick the best fruit possible for members.
Our Farm Share membership is $250 annually, which includes four boxes of seasonal fruit, usually including 3-4 fruits.
Of course! When you purchase a membership spot, just put the recipient’s information on the shipping information.
We work with family owned-and-operated farms across the US that grow special fruit that’s tree-ripened just for our customers. We work with them to make sure the fruit stays on the tree longer giving our customers fruit the way it was meant to be grown.
Customers can sign up at any time. Just go to our Shop page and purchase the Farm Share Membership.
Farm Share Members will get seasonal fruit in summer, fall, winter, and spring.
If you have an issue with your membership please contact us at [email protected].
We fill up our half-bushel boxes with as much fruit as possible, although each offering may vary a little due to the fruit’s sizing and weight.
Fruit & Product Education
Florida Ruby Red Grapefruit – (Winter)
Tree-Ripe ruby-red grapefruit comes to you directly from our partner farm, Rio Citrus in Fort Pierce, FL, and is left on the tree until the last possible moment before we bring it to our customers. Citrus fruit stops ripening the day it is picked, but leaving grapefruit on the tree for as long as possible allows them to fully ripen and get sweeter and juicier. Our grapefruit can have almost as much sugar content as an orange; it is mostly seedless and has a lower acid content – so easy to enjoy!
Grapefruit should be stored in the fridge (or garage) but not allowed to freeze. Allow the fruit to come to room temperature before eating for the best taste.
Tree-Ripe ruby-red grapefruit comes to you directly from our partner farm, Rio Citrus in Fort Pierce, FL. They have many years of experience with citrus and partnering with Tree-Ripe Fruit Co. allows them to grow their premium product the way nature intended; leaving the fruit on the tree until the last possible moment allows them to fully ripen and get sweeter and juicier. The trees are cared for by hand using growing practices and fertilizers that allow for long term tree and soil preservation.
Due to supply issues resulting from greening we no longer offer grapefruit by size. Our ½ bushel box will contain a variety of sizes as if you got them right off the tree (and you practically did)! Our focus is on bringing you the highest quality fruit, so no matter the size of each piece in the box you can be confident it is the very best!
Yes, we leave citrus on the tree to sweeten and ripen until the last possible moment. They come to you tree-ripened and ready to enjoy. They will not change in color or ripen any further after purchase. Any green coloring on the peel is natural (our citrus is not artificially dyed) and does not affect the flavor inside.
Grapefruit will typically last around 3-4 weeks in the fridge. Check out our recipe page and follow us on social media for great ideas on using and preserving your citrus.
Grapefruit can affect the way the body absorbs certain medications so they may not be for everyone. We recommend checking with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you.
Florida Pummelos – (Winter)
Pummelos are a non-hybrid citrus fruit originally native to South America. They are the largest of the citrus family and similar in taste to a grapefruit, but with a sweeter and milder flavor.
Citrus stops ripening the day it is picked, but leaving it on the tree until the last possible moment allows them to fully ripen and get sweeter and juicier. Our Pummelos are grown by our partner farm, Noble Citrus, in Winterhaven, FL. They have over 100 years of experience in citrus growing and working with Tree-Ripe allows them to bring you fruit that is left on the tree until the last possible moment. Pummelos are the one of the largest citrus fruit available.
Pummelos are grown by our partner farm, Noble Citrus, in Winterhaven, FL. They have over 100 years of experience in citrus growing. They use the best practices and techniques to keep their land and trees healthy. The care they give the land comes through in the quality of the product they are able to grow.
Pummelos contain some of the same compounds as grapefruit. Check with your doctor to make sure they are safe for you.
Pummelos should be stored in the fridge (or garage) but not allowed to freeze. Allow the fruit to come to room temperature before eating for the best taste.
Yes, we leave citrus on the tree to sweeten and ripen until the last possible moment. They come to you tree-ripened and ready to enjoy. They will not change in color or ripen any further after purchase. Any green coloring to the peel is natural (we do not dye the fruit) and will not affect the taste.
Florida Satsumas- (Winter)
Citrus stops ripening the day it is picked, but we can leave the fruit on the tree until the perfect harvest moment, allowing it to become sweeter and juicier. Our satsuma oranges come to you directly from our partner farm, Florida Georgia Citrus in Monticello, FL, and we bring it up directly to our customers or ship it right to your door. It’s never picked too early, and it doesn’t go into long, cold storage like some fruit you’ll find in the grocery store.
Satsumas should be stored in the fridge (or garage) but not allowed to freeze. Allow the fruit to come to room temperature before eating for the best taste.
Don’t worry, this is one of the natural characteristics of Satsuma mandarins. Many oranges have tighter peels and feel firm to the touch. Many Satsumas, however, have a ‘puffy’ feel to the touch and sometimes the fruit even separates from the peel within the fruit. This is absolutely normal, and even something that tells us they’re growing correctly!
Citrus typically lasts 3-4 weeks in the fridge. Check out our recipe page and follow us on social media for great ideas on using and preserving your citrus.
Florida Tangerines – (Winter)
Tangerines should be stored in the fridge (or garage) but not allowed to freeze. Allow the fruit to come to room temperature before eating for the best taste.
Yes, we leave citrus on the tree to sweeten and ripen until the last possible moment. They come to you tree-ripened and ready to enjoy. They will not change in color or ripen any further after purchase.
Our tangerines come from Noble Citrus in Winterhaven, FL. They have over 100 years of experience, growing citrus and caring for the land and trees.
Citrus typically lasts 3-4 weeks in the fridge. Check out our recipe page and follow us on social media for great ideas on using and preserving your citrus.
Georgia Peaches – (Summer)
Do not put your 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.
Be careful when caring for 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.
Let them soften. 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.
Our peaches come from Georgia’s oldest peach farm, Pearson Farm, in Fort Valley, Georgia.
Over the course of our peach season (June-August) we bring many different varieties of Georgia peaches from Pearson Farm. Each variety harvests for roughly a week, so each time you purchase you’ll most likely be trying a different variety. However, they are all freestone varieties with a yellow flesh.
What is a freestone? It all has to do with how easily the peach flesh separates from the pit (stone). A clingstone peach “clings” to the pit. These varieties, while tasty, are tougher to eat and work with. In Georgia, they harvest clingstone peaches in May.
Once we get to mid-June, freestone peaches begin harvesting and we start delivering them to the Midwest. They are called freestone because the pit (stone) freely separates from the peach flesh. They’re easy to freeze, can, or eat. We only deliver freestone peaches!
After they soften on your kitchen counter, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, but many of our customers are able to use them even longer.
We always recommend having a plan – make pies and cobbler, share some with friends and family, and preserve some to really make the best of your box!
Frozen peaches can last a year or more! Watch our instructional video Freezing Peaches to learn the best way to extend their life.
Firm peaches are normal and the way we intend you to get them! They will just take 1-3 days on your kitchen counter to complete the ripening and softening process. Peaches continue their ripening process after they have been picked from the tree and we make sure they are firm when you get them so they don’t bruise or get damaged while we ship them to you.
We allow our peaches to stay on the tree until the last second before it starts to soften which results in an amazing tasting peach you can’t get anywhere else!
We sell all different sizes of peaches! We pack our peaches the way they come in from the field, some will be large and some will be small. Size is dependent on the variety of peach and the growing season, which will vary year to year. The most common size is around 2 ¾” in diameter and go up from there. But we love to enjoy peaches of all sizes!
Varieties with less blush will appear more green, even when harvested at the right time. Green tint has little to do with taste or ripeness. We determine the maturity of a peach by its internal quality. A common comparison is a banana. While they can be very green, they continue to ripen after picking and the peel will turn from green to yellow. This is exactly the same with a peach!
Peaches come in many different varieties. In a given season, we may carry around 10-15 different varieties. It all depends on what the farm is harvesting around the time you purchased. Different varieties can have different characteristics such as size, color, and shape.
Some peach varieties are very red, almost like a plum. While others may be very yellow, with little blush. But no matter what they look like on the outside, they’re delicious on the inside!
Michigan Blueberries – (Summer)
When you bring your blueberries home, make sure to pick out any overly soft or mushy blueberries before storing. They should then be placed in the refrigerator right away and should last approximately 2 weeks.
Blueberries are washed during the grading process at the farm, however we always encourage you to wash your fruit when brought home. Blueberries freeze very well, and can be frozen right in the box or stored in freezer bags.
Our blueberries are grown in Paw Paw, Michigan at Walker Farms.
At this time, we only sell the 5 lb. boxes of blueberries. However, blueberries freeze very easily. You can freeze what you don’t use right away so you can enjoy them all year long!
Unfortunately, blueberries are not available for home delivery. Blueberries are extremely fragile and sensitive to warm temperatures. They can be found exclusively at our Peach Stops and at our Pop-up events.
Not every blueberry is sweet, each variety will have a mix of sweet and tart berries. Each variety of blueberries will taste a little different, some will have a higher percentage of sweeter berries. It is normal to have a mix of both in your box. Taste can also depend on growing conditions and different areas they may have been harvested from in the farm.
Oregon Pears – (Fall)
When you open up your beautiful box of Tree-Ripe Oregon pears, what can you look forward to? You can find more information on our pears on our pear product page. Here the varieties we work with:
Concorde: This tall and elegant pear has such a unique flavor, it tastes like it was injected with vanilla! Also, the Concorde doesn’t soften the same way other pear varieties do. It stays firm and eats more like an apple. This makes it your go-to cooking pear. Its firm texture holds up well even in high heat. Try it as a sweet contrast in pork dishes or toss them in a salad for a sweet vanilla-like crunch.
Taylor’s Gold: The new kid on the block! This juicy and tender variety was discovered in New Zealand in 1986 and first grown in Washington in 1998. It is thought to be a combination of a Bosc and Comice. Its rich sweet flavor and mild notes of honey make it perfect for salads, or to use as a mellow contrast with a strong blue cheese.
Warren: Smooth like butter… The Warren is super smooth (no grit!) with notes of vanilla and spice. It is rare to find because it is very challenging to grow, so this specialty pear is a real treat.
Red D’Anjou: This European beauty stands out from the crowd with its dark, crimson color. The skin is also where you find those helpful phytonutrients (antioxidants!). Add a pop of color to your charcuterie board or enjoy with simple granola.
Green D’Anjou: Keep your eye on this one! The Green D’Anjou won’t change color as it ripens, so test the pears for softness. The refreshing flavor makes it a great addition to a savory panini or in a smoothie.
Bosc: There’s never a wrong time to bite into a delicious Bosc pear, since the sweet fall spice and woodsy flavor are better enjoyed early in the ripening process. Each one is a piece of art with its bronze russeting skin. Great for classic poached pears.
Comice: So sweet that they’re blushing! The Comice are so silky and juicy that you actually don’t want to cook with these, but pair them with a Brie or cheese plate to impress your guests (and your tastebuds).
Pears are a hearty fruit with care instructions somewhat unique compared to other varietal fruits we carry. For example, did you know pears do not ripen fully on the tree? Full maturity happens right before a pear is ripe. This short window for harvesting is key to the pear-fect pear. Here are some tips on how to take care of your pears!
- Leave your pears out of the fridge because they ripen at room temperature.
- Leave them on the counter for 3-5 days until the neck (area below the stem) is soft to the touch. Colors often don’t change and each variety is a little different, so check your pears daily!
- Once your pears are ripe, place in the crisper drawer in the refrigerator. They will remain fresh for 5-7 days.
And of course, enjoy!
Wisconsin Honey
Our raw Wisconsin honey is harvested in Juneau, WI at Harvest Place by Lyle and Heidi Farrell. The bees are fed honey, not the industry standard of sugar water, to keep them happy and happy and to keep the honey they produce as pure as possible. The honey is harvested by hand and is unfiltered and raw. Watch our video here: https://www.tree-ripe.com/fruit/wisconsin-honey/ to learn more!
Our honey comes from Harvest Place apiaries in Juneau, WI. Watch our video at https://www.tree-ripe.com/fruit/wisconsin-honey/ to learn more about producing and harvesting some of the highest quality honey you can find!
Honey doesn’t have an expiration date. It should be stored at room temperature (countertop, cupboard). All raw honey will eventually crystallize over time or if it gets too cold but this will not affect the taste or quality of the product. Gently warm crystalized honey on low heat (do not microwave) to return it to its original smooth texture.
Raw honey is great on its own or in a hot or cold beverage; we also use honey in some delicious recipes you can find at www.tree-ripe.com/recipes!
New Mexico Pistachios
Our pistachios are this year’s crop, and come directly to us from our partner farm, Heart of the Desert in Alamagordo, NM. They are lightly salted and roasted using a salt brine – they only use ½ the salt of store bought pistachios and are just right! Pistachios you find in the store can be years old and over salted.
