You have until 11pm on Sunday to order Grab Bags from Garden Party (Misfit Vegetables, Mixed Vegetables, Juicer Mix, or a Veggie stock kit) in the vegetables section and Niagara Fruit from Warner's Farm in the fruit section.
Your fruit choices for pickup at  Entertaining Elements in Kitchener are:

    • Himrod -  A seedless white table grape with golden yellow/light green fruit.  
    • Sovereign Coronation - A virtually seedless blue table grape. It is juicy, very sweet, blue grape. Excellent for fresh eating, preserving or juice. We have both IPM and Transitional Organic avaialable!
  • Peaches:
    • Glowingstar - This peach is from the Stellar line of peaches. It is non browning and has a deep red skin over a bright yellow melting flesh. The flesh has a lovely red colour around the pit. It has sweet flavour and is completely freestone.
    • Cresthaven - A sweet, juicy, medium to large freestone peach that is almost fuzzless. Its bright red skin touched with gold is striking. A nonbrowning, late-season variety, it is favoured for canning and freezing.

  • Pears
    • Bartlett -  Light-green to completely yellow in colour. These are the juiciest pears for fresh eating. You can cook them to make pear sauce or pear butter.

    • Damson (Blue)  - Aura's favourite! A small clingstone plum with an astringent taste that makes great jam, liqueur and plum cake) and Vibrant (A semi-freestone plum with amber coloured flesh and violet-blue skin)
    • Italian (Prune) - Super tasty and great for drying, canning, baking and eating

A note about our fruit from Niagara

All our Niagara fruit is Tree Run, which means that the fruit is not sent to the grading station. The fruit is picked riper (and tastier) and avoids wax coatings, fungicidal baths and defuzzing in the case of peaches. You will find smaller and larger fruit together in your box. 
Enjoy the ripest fruit first and for the rest, spread your peaches out on newspaper on their side or bottom (not stem down) and not touching each other and they'll ripen over the next few days.
Keep peaches and apricots out of the fridge until they are ripe as they can get a mealy texture when chilled.
