Specials
The February Valentine
Special is three Red D'Anjous and three Jonagold apples in a  classic
wooden box. The box has a slide-in wooden lid printed with our logo. We're
sure you'll find many practical uses for this hand-crafted box. Kids love
them for a place to keep their treasures...as do the grown-ups! The wooden
box is custom made for us in Thorp, Washington. This family run box factory
has been providing custom boxes to the fruit industry for many decades."
The special on Jonagold apples
and Red d'Anjou Pears continues, but not for long!
Jonagold
apples are always a favorite. Crunchy and sweet. An excellent apple
for eating and cooking--and still 15% off during February at Fruit From

Still
Life With Fruit
Because of where we live,
we don't get much opportunity to visit the great art museums and peruse
the classical masterpieces of the ages. So we've come up with the next
best thing! A virtual tour of galleries on the Internet. Fruit
From Washington.com welcomes you to the beauties of Still Life With Fruit!
Enjoy these wonderful paintings from the comfort of your desktop and make
plans to see them in real life someday!
