When it comes to where to buy fruit baskets, we at Hale Groves can be a bit biased towards our own fruit baskets and gourmet goodies. Well, that’s easy to understand – we’re the ones who wait until the fruit we send you reaches its perfection before we pick it, and we’re the ones who painstakingly search out the most delectable treats, sweets and savories for you to enjoy! We also put a lot of care and attention in shipping fruit to you so it arrives in perfect condition, just as it was when picked. Whether it’s a holiday gift,…

Monthly fruit clubs have been around for a while – long before the Internet, in fact. And they’re generally far more welcome gifts than the jelly-of-the-month club Clark Griswold’s cheap boss foisted off on him in lieu of a bonus in the film Christmas Vacation: fruit gifts by mail have been happily received by family members, friends, co-workers and employees for years. And these days, people placing fruit orders are a great way to stock up on delicious, healthy fruits for their own households. What is a Fruit of the Month-Club? If you have not heard of the term or…

Quick! What pops into your mind when you hear the word “spring?” Tulips and daffodils? April showers? Easter baskets?

Not sure what to get your long-distance loved one? Shopping at a distance can be tough…it’s harder to get a feel for what your recipients’ tastes may be, or how they may have changed.

Once upon a time, a holiday fruitcake was among the most beloved of seasonal treats (December 7th is National Fruitcake Day), but in modern times it has suffered a decrease in popularity (January 7th is Fruitcake Toss Day). Maybe it’s because fruitcake can be very heavy, or maybe it’s because chocolate is more readily available nowadays…regardless, fruitcake sometimes gets a bad rap, but it never really goes away – in fact, every continent has its own versions. And it’s not just for the holidays or weddings anymore – due to its nutrient-dense makeup, fruitcake is growing in popularity with hikers, bikers,…

Every one of us is unique and has our own differences including our traditions and religious beliefs. For our Jewish friends who are hosting parties or are celebrating holidays, we would like to ensure that we give them gifts that are kosher to show that we respect their customs and heritage. What is Kosher? Kosher is a term used to describe food that adheres to the strict dietary standards of traditional Jewish law – food considered to be pure and suitable for consumption. The law not only determines which food may be eaten but also how these foods may be…
