It has a great\u00a0origin story, discovered by Thomas Oscar Warren growing naturally outside a\u00a0post office in Hattiesburg, MS. Once known as the Post Office pear, it\u2019s taken on\u00a0its founder name is a favorite of chefs. Too difficult to grow for most farmers, it\u2019s\u00a0never caught on commercially but Farmer Al has never shied away from putting the time and effort into a fruit that tastes so good. It has a classic European\u00a0texture, very soft and juicy with a silky sweetness that avoids the typical grittiness\u00a0found in most pears.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pink Lady Apples<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood<\/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 flesh\u00a0that resists browning makes this an \u00a0excellent apple for salads and slicing.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pomegranate<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Twin Girl Farms, Yettem, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nNative to the regions of Persia and the Western Himalayan range, pomegranates\u00a0have been cultivated for several millennia. When sliced open a beautiful array of\u00a0jewel-like seeds are displayed. The aril is the colorful casing that surrounds the\u00a0edible seeds and has a sweet tart flavor. Enjoy the arils alone or use them in salads,\u00a0desserts, or beverages.\r\n\r\n<strong>Hass Avocado<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Traceland Organics, Cayucos, CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nCreamy in texture, nutty in flavor, with a small to medium seed. The Hass skin is\u00a0easy to peel and darkens from green to purplish-black as it ripens.\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS WEEK\u2019S FRUIT Warren Pear Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood This is Frog Hollow Farm\u2019s signature pear and for good reason.
