cherriesORGANIC Cherries
Yeah! Cherries! A fruit so packed with taste and lore, in poems, paintings and punk rock songs- how we extol this fine little fruit. For many the first cherries are a sign of spring and renewal, even recalling childhood games. Pit spitting (hey - not in the office) and wearing the doubles as earrings. Robert Graves: "When I sound the fairy call, Gather here in silent meeting, Chin to knee on the orchard wall, Cooled with dew and cherries eating.  Merry, merry, Take a cherry" Washington

packham pearORGANIC Packham Pear 
Rumpled. A good poetic word. Rumpole of the Bailey. Rumbly, bumpy, bulbous, gibbosic. Packhams' are sweet pears, with character. Each a little askew like that friendly odd fellow at the bus stop. This pear's parentage is Bartlett and Yvedale Saint-Germain. It softens as it ripens. Argentina
