Delicious Organic Fresh Fruit Gift Baskets
More and more people are asking us to design and deliver Delicious Organic Fresh Fruit Gift Baskets!
Why?
I decided to “Google it” and ask the Mayo Clinic (I figure they’re a pretty safe place to start!) Here’s what I found:
Organic foods: Are they safer? More nutritious?
Discover the real difference between organic foods and their traditionally grown counterparts when it comes to nutrition, safety and price.
Once found only in health food stores, organic food is now a regular feature at most supermarkets. And that’s created a bit of a dilemma in the produce aisle.
On one hand, you have a conventionally grown apple. On the other, you have one that’s organic. Both apples are firm, shiny and red. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol. Which should you choose? Get the facts before you shop.
Farmers who grow organic produce don’t use conventional methods to fertilize and control weeds. Examples of organic farming practices include using natural fertilizers to feed soil and plants, and using crop rotation or mulch to manage weeds.
Any product labeled as organic must be USDA certified. Only producers who sell less than $5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt from this certification; however, they’re still required to follow the USDA’s standards for organic foods.
If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it’s produced and processed according to the USDA standards. The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers use it.
Products certified 95 percent or more organic may display this USDA seal.Products that are completely organic — such as fruits, vegetables, eggs or other single-ingredient foods — are labeled 100 percent organic and can carry the USDA seal.
Foods that have more than one ingredient, such as breakfast cereal, can use the USDA organic seal plus the following wording, depending on the number of organic ingredients:
- 100 percent organic. To use this phrase, products must be either completely organic or made of all organic ingredients.
- Organic. Products must be at least 95 percent organic to use this term.
Products that contain at least 70 percent organic ingredients may say “made with organic ingredients” on the label, but may not use the seal. Foods containing less than 70 percent organic ingredients can’t use the seal or the word “organic” on their product labels. They can include the organic items in their ingredient list, however.
What does all of this mean to you?
It means that we can design and deliver Organic Fresh Fruit Gift Baskets upon request! That’s right, all of the fruit we select from our local suppliers are certified organic!
We love to top our gift baskets with fresh flowers (this one was designed for the 4th of July) that are perfect for the occasion, from Christmas to a baby, a birthday, a wedding, anniversary or get well. The recipients of your gift basket will be “pleased as punch” when they realize you were thoughtful enough to send organic fresh fruit for their occasion.

Fruit baskets are an awesome gift. My kids love getting them!
And so they should, Robin! You’re teaching our kids the value of eating healthy!
we consume organic produce 88% ( fruits, vegetables, meats, etc) . Only eat non organic when we’re eating at restaurant
That’s terrific! Are you finding restaurants are amicable to your choices?
I love fruit baskets as a gift idea. They are a great alternative to flowers. We use to add other items in the basket as well to make it a truly gourmet gift.
Thanks for agreeing that fresh fruit baskets are terrific ideas! We know people are choosing healthy alternatives these days and we’re happy to help them!
I love going to the Farmer’s Market – especially for eggs – but I must admit it can be quite pricey to eat solely organic.
Yes, I do notice the increase in price when shopping organic. But it’s worth it, don’t you think?
This would make a great gift. I have never heard of organic baskets, what a healthy option!
We are fortunate to be able to offer this as an option for people who want to be healthy!
If only I could, I will order some for my self. Love organics!
You can!! You can order these for yourself! After all, who is more deserving than you?
Looks delicious and healthy. What a great gift .
Yes, we think this is a great gift, too!! I’m glad you like it!
This is great! Thanks so much for sharing ?
Thanks so much!!! Healthy is certainly the way people are thinking these days!
Organic fruits are the best! And what more if you can share them with family and friends through a gift, right? Thanks for this!
You are so right, Elizabeth!! Sharing organic fruits with friends and family is a great idea!
Organic produce is the best. They may be priced a bit higher, but it’s all worth it.
That’s what I’m discovering. I’m learning the value of organic produce, which is a bit more expensive but gee, it seems to me worth it!
I’ve been reading so much about this lately, and although organic isn’t that important to me, I know it is to many.
Thanks for the insight, Liz. Organic is important to a lot of people and it is always important to be aware of choices made by others.
I used to love making fruit baskets when I was a florist. Organic makes these even better.
As someone who has left the industry, you understand the value and importance of great fresh fruit baskets! Thanks.
Organic is the best. My husband’s eldest daughter who loves anything that is organic will LOVE this.
Thanks, Jessica! I hope you will share this information with your husband’s eldest daughter!
We love organic products in our house. Hadn’t really thought of food we consume at restaurants thought. Love the fruit basket idea!
Yes, Jonathan, if you’re thinking organic, then you need to consider all of the food you consume not just that which you prepare at home. I’m glad I was able to give you food for thought (no pun intended!).
Fruit baskets are great gifts when I’m visiting family. It’s healthy and delicious. These baskets are great being organic.
Thanks, Celeste, for your kind words. We know people enjoy receiving fresh fruit baskets loaded with goodies of all kinds.
I would love to get a gift of organic fruit! Something that’s great for my family and beautiful too 🙂
