Fruits

Easy-peel satsumas with almost no seeds, low acid, and a sweet floral juice that makes them the best cold-weather snack citrus in the South.Satsuma is the citrus that actually works in this part of Alabama, hardy to roughly the mid-teens with frost protection, which...

Glowing orange persimmons picked at the right stage, with a honey-cinnamon sweetness and a texture that ranges from crisp to spoonable custard.Know which type you have, because this is the source of nearly every persimmon complaint. NON-ASTRINGENT Fuyu-type fruit is squat and flat, and...

Long, ink-dark mulberries with a soft, honeyed sweetness and low acidity, tasting like a blackberry that traded its tartness for sugar.Mulberries are almost never sold commercially because they are too soft and too perishable to ship, which is exactly why a local pick is...

Tree-ripened apricots with honeyed, faintly tart flesh and a floral perfume that a hard, shipped apricot never develops on a shelf.Apricots are among the fruits most damaged by early picking, because they soften after harvest but they do not get sweeter. Ours come off...

Heavy, leathery-skinned pomegranates packed with crimson arils that burst tart-sweet and winey, with a clean acidity that wakes up rich food.Pick a fruit by weight rather than looks; the heaviest ones are the juiciest, and slight skin cracking is a sign of full ripeness,...

Deep purple-black elderberry clusters with a dark, winey, musky-tart flavor that becomes something remarkable once it is cooked down.COOK THESE BEFORE EATING. Raw elderberries and every green part of the plant, including stems, leaves, and unripe berries, contain cyanogenic glycosides that cause nausea, vomiting,...

Fragile, perfumed raspberries picked hours before you get them - intensely sweet-tart, seedy and aromatic in a way shipped berries never manage.Raspberries are genuinely difficult in Alabama heat; the canes want cool nights and resent our summers, so the picking window is short and...

Tart-skinned, honey-fleshed plums picked soft and dripping, with the tangy snap of skin against sweet juice that supermarket fruit loses entirely.Plums bruise and soften quickly, so ours are picked at eating ripeness and sold within a day or two - plan to use them...

Thick-skinned Southern grapes bursting with musky, intensely floral juice - one bite and you understand why the South never traded them for table grapes.Muscadines are our native Southern grape and the one fruit that shrugs off Alabama humidity entirely, which is why they taste...

Crisp, juicy Southern pears with a clean sweet snap and the granular bite that makes them the best preserving and canning pear there is.The pears that actually thrive in Alabama are the firm, fireblight-resistant Southern types, so expect a dense crunchy fruit rather than...

Smooth-skinned, tree-ripe nectarines with dense perfumed flesh and enough juice that you will want to eat them over the sink.Nectarines are peaches without the fuzz, and they carry a little more aromatic intensity and a firmer bite. We pick them ripe rather than hard,...

Jammy, honey-sweet figs picked dead ripe and soft at the neck, with the seedy crunch and berry perfume that shipped fruit never has.Figs do not ripen after picking, so tree-ripe fruit is the entire point - ours are picked in the morning when the...

Snappy, dark-sweet cherries with a bright acid edge, picked firm and cold so they still crack when you bite them.Cherries are genuinely difficult in Alabama heat, which is why you almost never see them at a Southern market - the trees want more winter...
