While the orchards are dormant under a thick layer of fresh snow, our facility is bustling with the oncoming holiday rush. The season is already promising unprecedented business at The Fruit Company, and we are thrilled to see our family company turn into such a success. Grandpa Roy would certainly be proud.

We would like to take this chance to extend a huge thank you to all the customers we’ve had over this past year. Your enthusiasm for sending the finest gourmet fruit and food gifts has made our vision a reality and we are ever so thankful.

Cherish your time with friends and family this season. From us, our families, and everyone at The Fruit Company, we wish you a happy, healthy and fruitful 2008.


There’s a reason why a partridge in a pear tree was given on the first day of Christmas. Not for the bird, but for the fresh and juicy pears of the season! Here in the Hood River Valley we grow the highest concentration of pears in the nation, so we consider ourselves to be experts on all things pear. Right now through the holidays pears are at their absolute peak, so indulge while you can!
Celebrate the season of the pear with any of these delicious gifts:
Basil Havarti & Pears: The creamiest savory havarti paired with our best pears.
Crater Lake Blue Cheese & Pears: Award-winning cheese perfectly complemented with fresh pears.
Pear Medley: Enjoy a selection of the finest pears of the season!


Balance out the abundance of unhealthy holiday food and mix in fruit to your menu. Fruit can add valuable nutrients to meals that often are dominated by fatty ingredients. Here are a few of our suggestions for integrating healthy fruit into your holiday fare. Just one navel orange has the complete daily value of vitamin C – which is the best water-soluble antioxidant you can give your body. These antioxidants increase heart health, decreases signs of aging and cancer. Continue a tradition with your kids and put an orange in the toe of their stocking or slice one into a spiced fruit salad!
