California Farmstead Basket

Golden State Fruit Review

Golden State Fruit's California Farmstead Basket was filled with orchard fresh fruit and a very high quality assortment of gourmet items. We were impressed to find things like baklava, expensive artisanal aged cheddar and dried pears in their basket. This basket was one of the best we reviewed in terms of fruit and gourmet quality and variety.

FRUIT

 

Three Fuji Apples - Sweet, crisp and full of flavor, Golden State Fruit's apples were some of the best apples we have ever tasted. This is a perfect example of the difference in quality from an orchard-direct company and all the other fruit basket companies. No stickers on the fruit, it was perfectly ripe and out of this world quality fruit.

Three Navel Oranges and Ten Honey Tangerines - Outstanding straight-from-the-tree quality. The honey tangerines were not sour, but more like clementines, easy to peel and very sweet. The navel oranges were much better quality than the kind you get at the grocery store. They have a more full, zesty flavor and then skin is not as thick.

Three Comice Pears - To die for juicy and full of flavor. These pears were obviously picked at their peak and shipped to us. The advantage of getting pears from Golden State Fruit or another orchard direct fruit company is that they aren't growing pears that are meant to sit on a shelf at the store for days. They are growing pears that are meant to taste better than what you can get in the store because you are paying more.

SWEET GOURMET

 

The Only Basket With Baklava - We give Golden State Fruit props for the baklava in the basket. The flaky layers dripped with honey and finely chopped nuts, it was a pleasure to eat it. The baklava made up for the Ghirardelli chocolate squares. Not that Ghirardelli is bad, we just see it in a lot of baskets and it's available in the every grocery store. We tend to tip our hats to fruit basket companies that try to offer something in their basket that is hard to find, unique or of especially high quality. We frown on cheap, fake and/or ordinary items but especially items that appear to be awesome and are not.

Three Gourmet Takes on Fruit - Dried, chocolate-covered and preserved - all good. The Torn Ranch dried fruit came in a small bag but had good variety; pears, plums, apricots, peaches. It's not every day you get a dried pear. Chocolate covered cherries didn't seem very special since they are the same waxy, red dye no.5 type all the other fruit basket companies have (sorry, just being honest) but the jam, oh the jam. Earth and Vine's Apricot Pineapple Tangerine Jam was absolutely dreamy. It was not overly sweet (you know that corn syrup taste I'm talking about), filled with chunks of fruit and had a warm cinnamon/ginger undertone that made it irresistible. It also came in a nine ounce jar, not bad.

SAVORY GOURMET

 

Unbelievably Good Cheese - Both the Vella Cheese Monterey Jack and Fiscalini Aged Cheddar were fantastic cheeses. Strong robust flavor combined with a texture that was melty and warm. Upon further investigation we learned that both Vella Cheese and Fiscalini use local milk for their cheese and their farms are environmentally certified with renewable power on site. The price tag on most of their cheeses goes for about $15 - $30 per pound. Golden State Fruit picked responsible, successful local businesses to stock their fruit baskets.

Urban Oven - These crackers were thick and dense. These are not light, flaky crackers but substantial enough to dip into something like hummus or a cheese ball and it wont break. The olive oil flavor is a nice mild taste that compliments the sharp cheddar in the basket.

ABOUT GOLDEN STATE FRUIT

The Golden State Fruit History and Overview

Customer service counts at Golden State Fruit. Fruit baskets are never packed until after they have been ordered and every basket sent out is guaranteed to arrive fresh and ready to sink your teeth into. Add on very competitive prices on fruit baskets or gift baskets and you have one fruit deliver service you can really depend on.

Besides offering a variety of fruit baskets, Golden State Fruit offers gift baskets that include gourmet quality treats from chocolate dipped giant strawberries to artisan cheeses. They also have a customizable fruit of the month club that allows each customer to determine when their fruit baskets go out, what is packed into them, and when the service starts and stops.

The product selection is pretty amazing, so make sure to check out their website and see what they have to offer.

History of Golden State Fruit

Golden State Fruit is different from most other services offering fruit baskets and gift baskets because they actually have their own orchards. They grow their own cherries and pears which are offered on a seasonal basis in their fruit baskets. Their fields are located in Northern California and they have been growing their own fruit for more than 50 years.

The mail order business was started as a way to get the fresh grown fruits from their orchards out to the world. It has expanded over the years to include gourmet quality fruits and other treats from California. All of the items found in their gift baskets today are handmade by California businesses that are hand selected by Golden State Fruit.

The pear orchards maintained by Golden State Fruit grow a variety of pear types including Bartlett, Bosc, Comice and red pears. They allow each buyer to select which type of pear they want to include in their fruit baskets. Their delicious fresh grown Bing cherries are also an option for months they are in season.

Quality Fruits at Affordable Prices

Since they grow much of the fruit used on their own and source the rest from local California growers, the fruit baskets from Golden State Fruit can be offered at more affordable prices. They offer more customization on their fruit baskets and fruit of the month clubs than most other businesses offering these services and yet they are by far not the highest priced service out there.

Their fruit baskets include quality fruit you can actually afford to send to yourself or out to those you really want to impress!

Fruit Baskets and Beyond

Besides fruit baskets filled with fresh grown fruits from California, Golden State Fruit offers a variety of other products. They have a wide variety of gift baskets and many of them can be customized according to specific holidays or special occasions. These baskets can include a variety of gourmet quality treats, including:

• Artisan Cheese
• Handmade Cookies
• Pastry
• Gourmet Chocolate
• Nuts
• Dried Fruits

There are also organic fruit baskets and organic gifts that are composed of entirely organic produce and organic treats. These baskets may be priced a bit higher, but as demand for organically grown produce continues to rise you could see prices dropping in the future.

Once you find the fruit baskets or gift baskets that are just perfect for your recipients (or your own taste buds) you can order without paying shipping. Golden State Fruit throws free FedEx shipping in as a special gift to every customer.

You can even order multiple gifts for multiple recipients in one order. This is a service that not every fruit basket and gift basket provider will offer, but you can do it with Golden State Fruit!

Customer Service You Can Count On

Besides growing their own cherries and pears and offering high quality fruit baskets with fresh, ready to eat treats, Golden State Fruit offers excellent customer service that never leaves a customer out to dry.

If a basket is received in less than fresh or otherwise unacceptable condition, it will be replaced or the money refunded. To ensure high quality fruit and fresh delivery they hand select fruit for all fruit baskets and pack them the same day they are shipped. Customers who are not satisfied can email the customer service department to have the matter fixed immediately.

When you send fruit baskets as gifts from Golden State Fruit you are also given the opportunity to include a special message to your recipient. You can place one order and have multiple fruit or gift baskets sent to different recipients at different addresses. This is an extremely convenient service when you want to send out fruit baskets for holidays or other special occasions.

The real allure of Golden State Fruit is the fact that they grow their own cherries and pears. There are other fruits available in their fruit baskets and through their fruit of the month clubs, but most people order from this provider because of their California grown fruits. The other treats included in their gift baskets are sourced from California as well, which makes this business ideal to loyal California customers.

With excellent customer service policies, customizable services that appeal to everyone, and fresh daily packaging, this is one of the best mail order fruit basket companies out there today. They send fresh, juicy fruits from their orchards to the business or home of your choosing and you don't even have to pay shipping.

You can browse the Golden State Fruit website according to the occasion you are shopping for or the type of product you want to order. They offer accurate pictures that show what their fruit baskets look like and pricing is straightforward and affordable.

You want to send fresh fruit baskets, eatable fruit baskets, and ones that can be delivered right to the door of your loved one or friend. When choosing to deliver a dried fruit basket, a chocolate fruit basket, a cheese and fruit basket, or a wine and fruit basket, you need to know the tastes and likes of your recipient. Would they prefer a Florida fruit basket (FL), a New York fruit basket (NY), a New Jersey fruit basket (NJ) or a California fruit basket (CA)? Do they care more about fresh fruit or the gourmet items that are local or would they prefer the food and fruit come from another region of the country. The United States has four main areas that fruit baskets come from because the fruit is grown local. Oregon Fruit Baskets, Washington Fruit Baskets, Florida Fruit Baskets, and California Fruit Baskets are the most common. Gourmet Nuts, Cheese, Chocolate, Wine, Sausage, and Cookies are all good additions to make up a great fruit basket.
