Seasonal Updates Harvest has already begun on Rainier Fruit Blueberries and for those of you west of the Mississippi and lucky enough to live near a retailer supplied by our berries, you are in for a treat.
You might not think of Central Washington as blueberry country however some of the biggest, firmest, sweetest blueberries around are coming from our ranches. Through controlled irrigation, hot arid days, and nights chilled by the Cascade Mountains we produce a blueberry of unbeatable quality and size.
Over the last few years, we have been working on increasing our production and extending our season from mid June to early August in order to meet demand and expand our supply region.
We focus on organic Blueberry production and growing a product of supreme excellence, color and dimension. Rainier Fruit Company steps up to the plate to deliver one of nature's Super fruits when supplies are short elsewhere.
Specialty Pears- September through February is the best time to try out new and interesting pear varieties. The Comice, the Seckel and the Forelle are worth branching out for. The Comice are the sweetest and juiciest of all varieties of pears. Defining a Comice’s characteristics is a bit difficult as they can be various sizes and fluctuate in color, varying from green with some blush to entirely red. One thing you can count on is their very distinctive shape; most recognizable by their plump body and diminutive, well-defined neck. The sweet tender flesh of the Comice makes them an ideal choice for “pearing” with soft cheeses like Camembert, Brie or any variety of blue. Compact balls of sugary syrup, Seckels are by far the sweetest of all pear varieties. These bite-size treats are often called “sugar pears” and are especially enjoyed by children. Not only are Seckels the sweetest of pears, they are also the smallest of all commercially grown pears. Typically green in color, they commonly have a deep red blush that can cover the entire surface. Seckels make great accompaniments to lunches or try canning them whole for a beautiful presentation. Forelle translates to trout in German and after seeing these colorful beauties, you will understand why. A backdrop of brilliant yellow skin punctuated by deep crimson lenticels with a brilliant red blush makes these pears a fantastic choice for edible centerpieces. One of the smallest varieties, they have a bell shaped body giving them a traditional pear form. Great for snacking, these pears should be avoided for cooking and baking with due to their small size. A favorite of coinsures, and short window of availability, make these gems something you should definitely not pass up. |
