Dear Fruit Connection Readers,
|
|
It is always hard to believe how fast the summer
season can fly by. I'm working hard at trying to
remember to get out and enjoy it. I hope you are
doing the same! This month's Fruit Connection
contains a citrus recipe and a link to Sunkist's
Garnishing and Decorating with Citrus web page. Look
and you'll find some neat ideas to dress up your next
dinner or party!
If you've got a minute, please check out the new gift
design featured below and our website. Send us an
email or give us a call if you have a gift arrangement
idea you'd like to share. Many of Fruition's popular
design ideas come from Fruit Connection readers and
Fruition customers, so believe me, we LOVE to hear
from you! Let us know what you think. Thanks!
Enjoy the rest of your summer...and follow the
advice my grandparents used as the "tagline" for our
wholesale produce biz: "Eat fresh fruits and
vegetables, Stay healthy!"

Just to let you know what's going on here at
Fruition: our usual chocolate supplier has halted
productions of fudgies, brownies, cakes and cookies.
There is some talk of them starting back up again in
October. We'll keep you posted! In the meantime,
we're happy to introduce new items such as key
lime/almond cookies, Meyer lemon/almond shortbread
cookies, "Sweet Georgia Brownie Chocolate Chunk
Cookies", with more to come. Check out the website
often, as new gift designs are being added each
week!
