THIS WEEK’S FRUIT
Warren Pear
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA
This is Frog Hollow Farm’s signature pear for good reason. Too difficult to grow
for most farmers, it’s never caught on commercially but, Farmer Al has never shied
away from putting the time and effort into a fruit that tastes this good. It has a
classic European texture – very soft and juicy with a silky sweetness that avoids the
typical grittiness found in most pears.
Fuyu Persimmons
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA & Chiechi Farm, Live Oak, CA
The Fuyu has a crisp texture with a rich honey sweet flavor. They have a beautiful
orange to red hue when ripe, often with tiny brown speckles on the skin. They can
be eaten out of hand with skin on or peeled.
Pomegranate
Twin Girls, Yettem, CA
Native to the regions of Persia and the Western Himalayan range, pomegranates
have been cultivated for several millennia. When sliced open, a beautiful array of
jewel-like seeds are displayed. The aril is the colorful casing that surrounds the
edible seeds and has a sweet tart flavor.
Autumn King Green Seedless Grapes
VBZ Grapes, Richgrove, CA
This light green grape delights with a large berry size and sweet flavor.
Fuji Apple
Cuyama, New Cuyama,CA
Fujis are a cross between Red Delicious and Ralls Janet, an heirloom apple dating back to Thomas Jefferson.
