Back in Blush!

Though this is our lucky number 7 weekend back in the Calgary Farmer's Market, it didn't really feel like we were back until the direct shipments from the orchard started, and we were back to wading in Blush Boxes for another season.

I love Blush Boxes. They are the perfect size, they have handles, and there's numerous ways you can cut them and stack them and make them look awesome, en masse. Even my pet bunnies live in them. They look especially great when filled with perfect, direct-shipped tree-ripe peaches.

Why is the product that we receive direct so special, you ask? Anything that we get in direct has typically been picked within hours of loading on to the truck, either from our orchard or one of our neighbours in the Keremeos/Cawston area. Since we are a relatively small local company, we are able to get in the product as fresh as possible and have it in all of our stores usually the same day. That's something that the bigger grocery chains just can't do, due to centralized warehousing and distribution.

Also, one of the owners spends the summers in the Orchard in Keremeos, working on relationships with all the organic farmers in the area, seeing what is being picked, securing quantities, and giving the farmers a fair price for their product.
There's a lot of work that goes behind bringing you a perfect peach, and I'm proud to be part of a company that supplies such amazing quality organic produce to Calgarians!

We're "Back in Blush" at the CFM, 510 - 77th Avenue SE, Blackfoot Trail and Heritage Drive, so come buy your own Blush box of our perfect peaches today!
