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…

We had a great time at this year`s IFPA Global Produce and Floral Show in Anaheim, CA. Thanks to everyone who came and saw us at the GrubMarket booth!
The 2023 Northwest Cherry season continues as we close out the month of July this week. Did you know fresh and sweet cherries are available until late August and beyond even? The season now runs from April starting with California and clear into September with some higher elevation cherries in the Pacific Northwest and cherries from Canada.
Cherry blossoms in the Yakima Valley! The season will start in June!
Onions are annually one of our top moving fresh produce items. From California to the Pacific Northwest. If you`re looking for an additional onion supplier with a long history of great onion partnerships give us a call at 510-569-0304.
Did a potato tour this past week. Saw some great looking Russet potatoes! #potatoes
It’s cherry bloom time in Washington State! We toured orchards this week and saw Rainiers, Chelans, the Audra Rose and more in bloom!
It`s hard to believe 2022 almost has its first month in the books already. We looked back at our 2021 sales, and these were our top 10 items sold for last year. Potatoes and onions remained #1 & #2 for us and melons jumped from 10th to 9th place.
We can`t wait to see how 2022 plays out, and as always - if you want to learn more about any of our items, or are looking for representation give us a call or shoot us a message here.

These modern apple packing lines are impressive AND huge! The amount of technology utilized to get a piece of fruit into a box is truly remarkable!

We currently have Golden Berries/Cape Gooseberries loading at our Oakland office facility.
Golden Berries are popular in jams and preserves and have a sweet/mild tart flavor. Give us a call!

It’s always fun to be at various apple packing line locations throughout Washington State!
Apple season in Washington State is winding down. We came across these braeburns being picked this past week.
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. Here is his Day 5 of 30 posts and it featured fresh blueberries from @naturipe Farms as part of his homemade yogurt parfait for lunch. #blueberries #freshproduce #berries #pickedfresh #produce #blueberries💙 #blueberriesarethebest #healthyeating #eathealthy #eatfreshproduce
It’s the Cosmic Crisp apple and it is one great tasting apple! They should be available in your favorite produce departments now! #apple #cosmiccrisp
Now that’s a big apple! Out looking at Washington State apples today and saw some size 36 #honeycrispapple - they were huge. Something you don’t see everyday. Enough to feed a family for certain! #apples
