The Best Food Gift Baskets of 2021

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, a sincere thank you present, or to help a loved one through life’s tough times, beautiful fruit in a basket is always appreciated. And yes, we believe our fruit gift boxes and online fruit baskets to be the best – but don’t take our word for it! These top five fruit baskets are big hits with our customers, so we’ll let them tell you why you should visit Hale Groves when it’s time to order fruit baskets online:

Best Overall Favorite: Grove Navel Oranges and Ruby Red Grapefruit

What Makes it Such a Hit: Your fruit order online is shipped fresh from Florida within hours of harvesting. Our legendary Grove Navel Oranges and Ruby Red Grapefruit come in different quantities to fit your needs and budget!

What Our Customers Say About It: It was hard to choose just one of hundreds of 5-star reviews, but Betty’s was pretty succinct: “Reports from friends and family members to whom I sent oranges & grapefruit for Christmas indicate that Hale Groves fruit and courteous service are absolutely the best ever!”

Why We Agree: Before we sold fruit baskets online, this is the fruit we were known for since 1947, when we were just starting out as a roadside Florida fruit stand and before we became a fruit basket company. We’ve grown in leaps and bounds since then, but our quality standards remain the same, and this fruit shows it!
