Feature Fruit: Royal Riviera® Pears

Our famously sweet and delicious Royal Riviera® Pears are finally ready—but place orders early! Quantities are especially limited this year. We’re so excited to share this incredible crop with you, and there’s no better way to welcome the fall season than with a big, juicy bite of a Royal Riviera® Pear. Enjoy them all on their own, add them to a cheese and charcuterie spread, or bake them into a beautiful and tasty pie.

NOW HAPPENING IN THE ORCHARDS

After months of hard work, our pear harvest is finished for the year. Our orchard teams are now busy repairing any damage that may have happened during harvest and preparing the irrigation system for winter.

Specialty Vegetables

The season for hearty cooking is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to prepare more healthy vegetables. Our featured vegetable this month is Kabocha squash that’s grown in California. When roasted, this squash has a fluffy texture and tastes like a cross between sweet potato and pumpkin. Additionally, we’re shipping white asparagus from Peru, avocados from Mexico, and California-grown green tomatoes and Shiitake mushrooms.
