Local Eco-Grown Paula Red, Zestar!, and Ginger Gold Apples – Champlain Orchards – Bring it on! Paula Reds are an early ripening Macintosh variety, with a tart flavor and otherwise very similar characteristics. Zestar! Apples are an early ripening Honeycrisp variety, with just as much crunch and juiciness. Ginger Gold are a particularly nice yellow apple variety, with a bit more snap than one of its parent apples – the Golden Delicious. Champlain Orchards is a certified Integrated Pest Management (IPM) orchard, which means they use ecologically safe methods to grow their apples, focusing on interfering as little as possible with the natural growing process and listening closely to the needs of the trees and the environment.

Organic Honeycrisp Apples – WA, USA – Honeycrisp could not be a better name for this sugar sweet, crunchy apple that is a staff and Guest favorite. They most often have a skin that’s beautiful red blush over yellow and green stripes. Developed by the University of Minnesota breeding program (non-GMO!) the Honeycrisp was almost never developed but was picked up by chance by a single researcher, before making its unlikely rise to the 5th and soon to be 3rd most grown apple in the US.

Organic Florida Avocados and Green Coconuts – Florida Avocados are larger and firmer than Hass (“regular”) avocados, and while they are less creamy because due to a lower fat content, their firm texture really works for any application where you want an avocado to hold its shape. Well worth trying for the avocado afficionado but beware- they don’t get as soft as a regular Hass, so don’t wait too long to dig in! Green Florida Coconuts are an impressive alternative to young Thai coconuts (they’re HUGE, and they’re GREEN) and are hands down the best choice for drinking straight from the source, chilled, with a straw. Rum is optional, but we do recommend a machete (or a really big knife) to get into these babies.
