A Gift Inside Sweet & Savory Farmstead Fruit Basket

I ordered this basket for myself, and the ‘merry christmas’ one (exactly the same but for the ribbon) for my husband who is travelling. They were both perfection – exactly the contents that were described and shown in the photos. The non-fruit foods were all fresh, all fruits completely delightful. I do want to say too that in addition to being fresh, the non-fruit food (2 types of cheese, almonds, petit fours, chocolate covered peanuts, etc.) were quite good…products I would choose to buy again. All expiration dates were well into the future, at least a couple of months.

The pears were particularly wonderful. They ripened within a day or two – I took one out of the fridge each morning to have later in the day, and voila! Perfect!! I haven’t had pears that good in years. (We don’t have much luck with those in our local grocery stores, and no local farmer’s markets/orchards have them here either.)

I’m actually back on this page because I want to order another one for one of my sisters – I think they did a fabulous job and I’m really pleased. My husband feels the same way about the basket he received.

UPDATE: 2/15/18: I’ve lost count now of how many of these baskets I’ve ordered, and I have not had even the slightest disappointment or stress with my shipping or products for my self or as gifts.. Of course in this delivery today, my pears were there (YAY!) and an extra surprise of pecan caramel chocolates…..what a wonderful thing.

And, I have to say, I was so exited when my basket arrived….and then minutes later I found out I’m losing my job tomorrow. A fruit treasure in one hand, and a truly ruinous email in the other. I sat down on the floor with my dog and my good china and crystal and we shared cheese and crackers and oranges. We ate well and with good camaraderie…..thank goodness the basket was just as reliable and true as always. (And of course desert later will be a pear!) 🙂 Thank you for your consistently perfect baskets!!

This basket is beautiful but I was very disappointed that the note I included did not come with the basket. Also a couple of the fruit were bad. Doesn’t sound like I should give a 4 star rating but it was pretty and the cheese is great. I’m not sure I’ll go this route again because I’m very particular about my notes.

My niece called to thank me for the basket. She was very impressed by the fruit. A good value.

Sent to my mother in law after her hubby passed. She was so happy and said the basket is perfect and she will use for her knitting. The other family members that were still there with her said it was good sized and items were great. Was larger than I expected for price. Bought the one that was around $66 and it totalled 71.00. Will definitely send this product again because quality and size compare with baskets that are 129.00 elsewhere.
