We are excited that our own Maurice Protzen was recently featured on Duckwall Fruit Company's social media. Just one example of multiple long-term relationships we have with industry partners throughout the fresh produce industry!What do Pears and cows have in common? The person sitting to the right. That is Maurice Protzen, Vice President of Grant J. Hunt Company. We refer to him as our partner that is number one in our hearts. With an over 30-year relationship with Duckwall Fruit, he has earned that title repeatedly….as seasons change, Mo has not, he has been a constant steady we enjoy chatting with multiple times a day. He enjoys “ranching” just as much as he (and us too) enjoys seeing Duckwall Pears covering California’s Bay area, thanks to his hard work and efforts. Thank you, Mo. We appreciate you, and all that you do. You’re still number one in our hearts. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK…

Shipped sample boxes of EverCrisp apples to some customers and foodies! ...
Cosmic Crisp is one of the newer apple varieties and it is sweet and delicious. We checked out some amazing ones yesterday. #apples #CosmicCrisp #washingtonapples #freshproduce #freshapples ...
Size 72 honeycrisp apples on the left. Size 36 honeycrisp apples on the right. The size refers to the number of apples in a standard 40lb box. Sizes 64-88 are the most common in produce departments for bulk apples. Bagged apples use smaller apples for the most part. A size 36 could feed a family!

Have you tried a Honey Belle Pear yet?
Our Oakland headquarters just taste sampled the Honey Belle pear from New Zealand and definitely were impressed!
We will have them available in 3 sizes starting in mid March. The pear tends to produce a smaller size profile, and we are expecting our initial peak sizing to be in the 50-59mm size range which is about 90-110 in our U.S. pear sizing. It is a crisp and juicy pear and has very low acid. It is also known as a super sweet pear and has proven popular in Asian markets. It`s often described as the perfect snacking pear.
If you`re interested, shoot me a DM.

Eric Patrick from our company is doing 30 days of fresh produce on his Twitter site and we thought we’d mimic his posts here as well.
