California's Frog Hollow Farm has a crop of not-so-ordinary citrus fruits which ripen in winter, and this year's harvest is just in time for holiday shipping. Plus ready-to-bake desserts made with organic ingredients, and gift cards for ripe summer fruit delivery.
Brentwood, California, United States - December 17, 2014 /MarketersMedia/ —
Christmas can taste like summer this season. “Farmer Al” Courchesne, owner of California’s organic fruit orchard, Frog Hollow Farm, announced today, “I’m thrilled to report that Frog Hollow’s sweet and juicy Tarocco Blood Oranges, fragrant Meyer Lemons and standout organic Kumquats have been harvested in time to ship for holiday gifts.”
A fresh fruit gift for the holidays is a special treat at the beginning of winter. It’s a taste of summer when one would most wish for it. For customers who haven’t yet sent Holiday gifts, imagine what a beautiful surprise it would be to receive a mixed box of delicious California sunshine in the mail for the Holidays.
Frog Hollow Farm’s Tarocco Blood Oranges are sweet and juicy. Their distinctive flesh can range from streaked pink to the deep red color blood oranges are known for. Equally good for juicing or for eating out of hand, Farmer Al particularly loves them sliced over crisp bitter greens drizzled with Frog Hollow olive oil.
An equally delicious part of Frog Hollow Farm’s citrus harvest is the Meyer Lemon fruit. This fruit is gaining popularity each year with no small thanks to celebrity chefs who love the distinctive tartness. These beautiful fragrant lemons are naturally more sweet with less acid than the varieties that tend to populate grocery store shelves. Frog Hollow specifically uses the Meyer in their lemon marmalade to offer a less-bitter and amazingly delicious spread.
Lastly, the kumquats. With a sweet skin and a tart flesh, the kumquat fruit is a standout variety of citrus. It resembles an orange but it’s much smaller and fully edible, skin and all. Kumquats are great to eat out of hand or may be used in cooking.
For customers who haven’t planned a Christmas dessert yet, there is still time. Select from ready-to-bake pastries that are a great way to say ‘Thank You’ to a hostess for a wonderful Christmas meal.
Apricots, cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums & pluots are all within reach during the holidays. Those who still relish the memories of delicious, juice-dripping stone fruits from earlier this year, will be delighted to know that Frog Hollow Farm customers are now able to give a favorite summer fruit club to friends and family for the Holidays. It’s a gift that keeps on giving all summer long. Pick from a wide selection of summer fruit clubs, designed to suit an individual’s taste and budget, on the website at FrogHollow.com.
Frog Hollow will notify the recipient immediately with a gift card so they know how blessed they are. And as the chosen variety of fruit becomes available in 2015, Frog Hollow Farm will ship it to the recipient to ensure that the hand-picked, certified organic fruit is delivered in keeping with Farmer Al’s promise of “Tree to Table in 48 Hours.” Frog Hollow Farm’s summer fruit box programs begin in May, June and July.
