December Specials

The December Holiday Special is two Hosui Asian Pears, two Red D'Anjous and two 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 well after the 1999 holiday season. The wooden box is custom-made for us at a family-run box factory in Thorp, Washington that has been providing custom boxes to the fruit industry for many decades.

The Hosui Pears were such a hit in November that we continued the special through December. They are delicious. Adjectives such as sweet, crunchy, and succulent, hardly do these special round, golden pears justice. These pears are hard to find and our stock won't last so if you want some this year, be sure to order now.

Jonagold apples are always a favorite. Crunchy and sweet. An excellent apple for eating and cooking--and 15% off during December at FruitFromWashington.com.

What's Coming Up In 2000

The New Year, New Century, New Millennium all are fast approaching. We're looking forward to continuing to expand the FruitFromWashington.com product line, adding other quality products from Central Washington. We also are continuing to work on the site, and plan to bring more heirloom recipes and tips for using fruit online early in 2000.

Sneak Preview

Millennium Special: 3 Jonagold apples and 3 Red d'Anjous packed in the same great wooden box as the Holiday Special!

January Special: Our Red d'Anjou pears are delicious and attractive. This winter dessert pear is harvested in mid-September but is available nearly year around due to its fine storage quality. A medium to large sized pear, it is highly colored with a dark red hue, sweet and richly flavored when ripe. Rave reviews for the 1999 Red D'Anjou crop! The deep red color is "just beautiful...pretty, pretty, pretty...best looking Red D'Anjous ever...a deeper red color than those grown elsewhere...they are amazing!"
