Collectible Fruit Crate Labels on Display
We received an e-mail from one of you inquiring about the old apple crate labels once used by Larson Fruit Company of Selah, Washington. Well, we talked to one of the Larsons about it and found out that the Orchard Boy label which depicts a red-haired, freckled face boy of Swedish descent was based on their own family traits!
Your question gave us the impetus for our next project. We have joined the ranks of fruit crate label collectors and you can see pictures of our early finds on the brand new Fruit Label Display page! Of course, Orchard Boy will always be one of our favorites but how can we not love Dainty Maid, who wears a sweater with the nickname Babs embroidered on the collar?

Don't forget to check out our Recipes section if you're in the mood to try new recipes, or old. We've added some Heritage Recipes that are identified with the old-fashioned cook logo.

If you don't feel up to cooking green eggs and ham, we recommend Candied Gala Apples with a St. Patrick's Day twist!
