Before you order

Questions

If yours is not here, call or text us — a real person picks up.

Do I pay on this website?

No. You place the order here, we confirm the price and the delivery day with you, and the invoice comes after you have the fruit.

Is there a minimum order?

One box. Everything is sold by the box, whether it is for your kitchen or your restaurant — there is no bigger minimum than that.

How long until I get it?

We buy fruit every Wednesday and it takes one to two weeks to reach us from the highlands. Order after a Wednesday and yours goes on the next week’s buy. We keep you posted, and we confirm the delivery day before it arrives.

How fresh is it?

We bring fruit in on a route and sell what came in. If something is not good that week we tell you rather than sending it.

What if I need it every week?

Tell us in the order notes. Regular buyers go on the delivery route and get the same drop each delivery day without reordering.

Can I order by phone instead?

Yes. Call or text (650) 305-5650 and we will take the order down the same way. The website is quicker, but either gets you the same fruit.

What is lulo, exactly?

Also called naranjilla. Orange on the outside, bright green and tart inside — mostly used for juice rather than eaten out of hand.

And tomate de árbol?

Tree tomato, or tamarillo. A firm egg-shaped highland fruit, sweet-tart, used for juice with milk, ají and stewing.
