About FruitShare
Who we are, where we came from, and why our fruit rocks
At FruitShare, we know what fruit should taste like. We know that farm fresh fruit is the best because it is almost as fresh as picking it yourself - resulting in flavorful, juicy fruit packed full of nutrients. At FruitShare, we know that organic fruit is better fruit, because it is free of harmful chemicals like pesticides and herbicides. When fruit is organic, our families don't have to eat those chemicals, and just as important, the farmers don't have to handle them. We know that busy lives can lead to bad habits like heading to the drive-thru window for dinner on the go. We also know how to turn bad habits into good ones by making your life easier with organic fruit delivery. When we bring fruit in season to you at home or work, healthy choices are easier because you don't have to work harder to make them: the organic fruit is simply there, and it is easy to get at.
With FruitShare, you'll know where your food comes from. We send an eco-friendly e-newsletter to you with every box, detailing stories from the farms, plus tips for handling your fruit, health and wellness information, and recipes. We'll connect you to the farmers, whether they're local or all the way across the country.
If the farms happen to be far away, we bring it to you using sustainable and efficient shipping methods. FruitShare founder Everett Myers has spent years in various facets of the produce industry, and has gained invaluable insight into the ups and downs of shipping. We use this knowledge to our advantage, making traditional shipping methods more environmentally sound.
We truly mean it when we say, "Picked Fresh. Shipped Fast. Always Organic." Conventionally-grown fruit is often picked before it is ripe, then shipped and left in storage for weeks - even months - at a time. When fruit sits in storage, it steadily loses nutrients and flavor. That's why FruitShare works with small family farmers who give their fruit plenty of tender loving care. The farm fresh fruit we ship is ripened on the tree, bush or vine until it is at the peak of flavor. Only then is it harvested - often by hand. After the fruit is picked, it is delivered to our customers as quickly as possible, arriving within a few days of being harvested. The taste of our fruit is unbeatable because of the attention and care that it is given from start to finish.
All the love and care poured into FruitShare fruit also makes our boxes fantastic fruit gifts for any occasion. With the option to include a personal handwritten note, a fresh fruit gift says everything from "congratulations on your new baby," and "happy birthday," to "get well soon," and "thank you." Organic fruit gifts can simply say, "I love you!" to family and friends all across the U.S.
From family kitchens to corporate conference rooms, FruitShare has a kind of organic fruit delivery for everyone - including corporate wellness and fruit fundraisers for groups and organizations. See what we have to offer you.
