Fruit Box

  • Shizuka Apples - Weaver’s Orchard
    • A Japanese variety prized for its large size, crisp texture, and mild sweetness.
    • They have a smooth yellow-green skin often blushed with red and a juicy, low-acid flavor that makes them especially refreshing.
    • Similar to Mutsu apples, Shizukas are excellent for fresh eating and hold up well in salads or cheese pairings.
  • Pixie Crisp Apples - Weaver’s Orchard
    • Smaller-sized variety known for its bright red skin, firm crunch, and tangy-sweet flavor.
    • Despite their petite size, they pack a big burst of juiciness, making them perfect for snacking.
    • Their crisp bite and balanced taste also make them a fun choice for lunch boxes or cheese boards.
  • Clementines
    • Tiny oranges in tuxedos—sweet, seedless, and so easy to peel it feels like cheating at fruit.
