In Season!
Ugli Fruit
I assure you the name is misleading. Despite their rough, wrinkly skin, they are delightful inside! This Jamaican native is a special hybrid of grapefruit, orange, and tangerine. The taste is secretly sour, subtly sweet, and joyfully juicy. The season is arriving at its prime and yielding some of the largest citrus fruit you have ever seen, so come down and get one before they're gone! -- Christian Davis -- Your Produce Man

Cherub Tomatoes
These little beauties will make your taste buds sore with delightful explosion of heavenly sweetness. They are perfect for snacking or salads, and even though there're from Mexico, the taste is reminiscent of our beloved local Grape Tomatoes in the heart of a Michigan Summer! -- Christian Davis -- Your Produce Man

Kent Mangoes
Wow! These are soooo good! Rick brought in these mangoes from Peru and they are the first good ones since Mexican season ended. The mango experts know, Kent mangoes are known for being large, plump and full of juice. Many customers "go nuts" when this variety arrives because they have a meat with little fiber for string. The flesh is really sweet with marvelous flavor! -- Andy

Chilian Peaches
Mark in our produce department keeps telling me how good these are, and Wow, is he right! I know! I know! Many of your are afraid of soft fruit during the winter because you have tried some bad stuff in the past! We would like to change your opinion. Come in this weekend to see what we are excited about. These peaches from the south are beautiful, sweet and juicy. -- Andy

They often buy in frozen juice that is squeezed elsewhere. We squeeze our own grapefruit juice several times a week to keep it fresh! If you get here before our number one grapefruit juice customer(Bill) you might actually get to try it for yourself! --Andy
Going -- Going -- Almost Gone!
Hy's Apple Cider
Cider fans everywhere are in mourning. It's the time of year when Michigan Apple cider is done until the leaves start turning on the trees again. It is still sweet and tastes great! Stock up now, as it will only last about two more weeks!

Also known as the red navel orange, it originated at the Hacienda de Cara Cara in Valencia, Venezuela. Cara Cara Oranges have a bright orange peel and pink - raspberry colored flesh. Its taste is sweet with undertones of sweet-cherry, with a low acid profile. Very juicy and best when eaten fresh out of hand, Cara Caras are also popular with chefs for use in cooked sauces. -- Andy

Harbor Island Grapefruit
Wow! These are amazing! Here's the scoop...I'm telling you if you love grapefruit, you should buy these right away! These are from a farm called Harbor Island Citrus out of Vero Beach, Florida. This farm uses a new harvesting technology called Brix-Sensoring. It's a machine developed in Japan to determine when a citrus fruit is at its prime for picking. i.e., when it's most sweet. It's a non-invasive test. Almost all of their crop is export-grade and is shipped to Japan, but we managed to get our hands on a few cases! If you are a fan of grapefruit, be sure to try one today! -- Andy

Blood Oranges
These are candy right now from California! Have you tried a Blood Orange? They are juicy and sweet with a deep red citrus tasting flesh with hints of raspberry and strawberry flavor! -- Andy

Heirloom Navel Oranges
What the heck is an Heirloom Navel? Did you know not all oranges are created equal! Heirloom Navels are "old school" navels that bring you back to the way good citrus used to taste. To be considered an heirloom, a variety has to have been cultivated for over 100 years. These navels have an amazing taste that you can't miss out on right now! -- Andy
