It has a great\u00a0origin story, discovered by Thomas Oscar Warren growing naturally outside\u00a0a post office in Hattiesburg, MS. Once known as the Post Office pear, it\u2019s\u00a0taken on its founder name is a favorite of chefs. Too difficult to grow for most\u00a0farmers, it\u2019s never caught on commercially but Farmer Al has never shied away\u00a0from putting the time and effort into a fruit that tastes so good. It has a classic\u00a0European texture, very soft and juicy with a silky sweetness that avoids the\u00a0typical grittiness found in most pears.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pink Lady Apples<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nA cross between the Golden Delicious and Lady Williams, the Pink Lady is a\u00a0crisp and juicy apple with a tart finish. Pink skins and a creamy white colored\u00a0flesh that resists browning makes this an excellent apple for salads and slicing.\r\n\r\n<strong>Shinko Asian Pears<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Home Grown Organic Farm, Porterville, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nThe Shinko is a large pear that has a slightly flattened round shape. The skin of\u00a0this fruit is bronze with brown russeting and its juicy, creamy white flesh has a\u00a0subtly rich flavor. One of the last pears to pick, it comes off the tree with a butterscotch note to its sweetness.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pomegranate<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Twin Girls Farm, Yettem, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nNative to the regions of Persia and the Western Himalayan range, pomegranates have been cultivated for several millennia. When sliced open, a beautiful\u00a0array of jewel-like seeds are displayed. The aril is the colorful casing that\u00a0surrounds the edible seeds and has a sweet tart flavor. Enjoy the arils alone or\u00a0use them in salads, desserts, or beverages.\r\n\r\n<strong>Hass Avocado\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Las Palmalitas, Carpenteria, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nThe Hass Skin\u00a0is easy to peel and darkens from green to purplish-black as it ripens.\u00a0Creamy in texture, nutty in flavor, with a small to medium seed.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>***all varieties are subject to change***<\/strong><\/em>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS WEEK\u2019S FRUIT Warren Pears Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA This is Frog Hollow Farm\u2019s signature pear and for good reason.
