Too difficult to\u00a0grow for most farmers, it\u2019s never caught on commercially but Farmer Al has never\u00a0shied away from putting the time and effort into a fruit that tastes so good. It has a\u00a0classic European 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<\/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 excellent 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 edible seeds and has a sweet tart flavor.\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<strong>Hosui Asian Pear<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Terra Firma Farm, Winters<\/em>\r\n\r\nThe Hosui has a rougher, thicker skin and flesh that is a crunchy, yet melting\u00a0mouthful. This makes the texture combination when eaten out of hand spectacular. Very juicy and sweet with a milder pear taste, their round shape and beautiful\u00a0golden hue make them ideal for presentation with a distinctively Autumnal feel.\r\n\r\n<strong>Fuji Apple<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Cuyama Farm, New Cuyama,CA<\/em>\r\n\r\nFujis are a cross between Red Delicious and Ralls Janet, an heirloom apple dating\u00a0back to Thomas Jefferson.\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS WEEK&#8217;S FRUIT Warren Pear Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood This is Frog Hollow Farm\u2019s signature pear and for good reason.
