Still waiting for the net two shipments!!! When are they coming?

After being so disappointed with the apricots at local grocery store I decided to treat myself to an order of these apricots. I was pleasantly surprised. Carefully packaged so when the delivery guy just threw down the box into my front door the apricots were safe and not bruised. I was happy to find that there were a few ready to eat right away and the rest ripened over 2-3 days. That’s as long as the box lasted. Very sweet apricots and the skin was thinner than the ones found locally. These apricots were so good that even my little girl who can be a picky eater enjoyed them. I already placed another order.

After devouring last years perfect apricots in just a few sittings, when pre-orders open in November 2022, I immediately ordered two shipments. Although we have enjoyed the two different varieties this year, the consensus is that the flavor has been inconsistent. Some of the fruit tasted amazing like last year, but others were just ordinary. We also had a problem with spoilage that we did not have last year. Under refrigeration upon receipt, we still ended up with a several overripe pieces of fruit in both shipments that grew mold within 2-3 days. We probably should have consumed them within that timeframe, but perhaps we were spoiled by our our experience from last year when they were still edible up to two weeks later.

As usual, everything was packaged beautifully, and most of the fruit was firm and flawless. Overall, still much better than supermarket quality, but when buying from a local farmer, it should be. I love Frog Hollow Farm, and will will continue to buy fruit from them. With organic produce, sometimes you get a dud or two.

They are from Frog Hollow Farm, so you know what to expect: most delicious stone fruit you can find in this country!

Yummy!
