Feature Fruit: Plums

Delightfully sweet and tart, our delicious plums are the perfect treat for late summer and early fall. These rich and versatile fruits can be eaten on their own, on top of salads, baked into goodies, or poached and served with ice cream. Each tasty fruit is handpicked and packed with care to ensure they withstand the rigors of shipping. Enjoy them all to yourself or send them as a thoughtful, health-conscious gift.

NOW HAPPENING IN THE ORCHARDS

After months of anticipation, our Royal Riviera® Pear harvest has finally begun! Once they’re handpicked, they go right into cold storage for a minimum of 30 days. This process ensures they’ll develop the high level of sugar and juiciness that sets our Royal Riviera® Pears apart from all other pears.
