Angelic Organics Fruit Program
Our Fruit Share
(NOTE:
Our fruit share program is only for people who are also Angelic
Organics vegetable shareholders.)
“Fruit boxes are Great! Better
variety than Whole Foods and local markets. When more people learn how
good the fruit boxes are, more people will sign up for them.” ...a delivery site host
“What a wonderful addition to your
program. The fruits are delicious! Thank you so much for making this
available to us.” ...a Logan
Square shareholder
“We are loving the fruit! Is it too
late to add the extra winter deliveries?” ...a Hyde Park shareholder

Imagine having your own expert
Fruit Buyer searching the country for
special, fresh, high quality, tree (or vine or bush) ripened, organic
fruit. The Fruit box is a way for you to receive this experience. It is
similar in many ways to a vegetable share. It, too, is an array of
seasonal produce gathered together into a box and delivered to a site
near your home. However there are some key differences in the Fruit boxes:
- The produce is fruit, not vegetables.
- Fruit Boxes, delivered in a separate box, arrive only once every
2 weeks vs vegetable shares which are delivered weekly (you must
purchase a vegetable share in order to purchase a fruit box).
- The fruit is more delicate & therefore it is delivered in a
different sized and shaped box. Also, there are many types of fruits
which cannot be stacked and therefore the box will sometimes have just
one layer of fruit.
- Whereas every vegetable that you receive from Angelic Organics is
grown on our farm in North-central Illinois, none of the fruit is. The
Fruit comes together from orchards, groves, and farms across the
country.
There are also several similarities
among Fruit boxes and vegetable
shares:
- The delivery sites and pick up times and day of the week are the
same.
- Special handling instructions and a customized Fruit Program
newsletter will accompany each delivery. This newsletter (which will be
separate from the vegetable newsletter) will also provide information
about where your organic fruit was grown, and highlight unique
attributes about the annual fruit harvest. See
archived/sample Fruit Newsletters.
We believe the Fruit Program is an ideal complement to our CSA program
and your vegetables. If you purchase a Fruit box you will be able to
follow the seasonality of the organic fruit harvest and support many
smaller-scale growers known for growing exceptionally tasty varieties.
The Fruit Program is your ticket to learn about your food and enjoy the
great flavors of the season. Our growers reward Fruit Program customers
by providing the “top picks” of each harvest.
