Relying on a trustworthy fruit delivery service means that you are getting the best in quality and quantity on a weekly basis. Knowing what’s in stock can help you customize your order while the freshest local ingredients are delivered straight to your doorstep.

In order to make the most out of your fruit delivery shopping experience, you should have a better understanding of what kind of produce is in season during which seasons of the year. That way, you won’t feel ripped off or disappointed if you can’t get organic avocados in the fall, or collard greens in the winter.

Being able to navigate your way through seasonal produce can help you make a great connection with your fruit delivery professional. So when it comes time to order, you’ll know exactly what’s in store for you. Here’s a quick seasonal delivery guide to let you know what’s in stock this time of year!

Spring Produce

The spring is a time for birth, regrowth, and new beginnings. The air is nice and warm, flowers are blooming, and people are just generally happier. This also happens to be the best time of the year for most types of produce. You can expect huge harvests around this time of year, with everybody’s favorite flavors coming to greet them.

Some of the most popular produce grown in the spring includes:

  • Apples
  • Onions
  • Spinach
  • Pineapple
  • Mushroom
  • Strawberries
  • Avocado
  • Asparagus
  • Carrots

Keep in mind that some of these items grow year-round. But, it’s good to know that the spring likes to greet a variety of different pieces of fruit.

Summer Produce

As things heat up, so does the produce selection. People love eating fruit in summer, because the cool, juicy pieces of produce are the perfect relief for a real blazer of a day. Here are some of the things you can expect during the hottest months of the year:

Winter Produce

Many people think it’s impossible to grow anything during the winter. While it largely depends on where you live, it is definitely possible to enjoy a large variety of fruits and veggies even during the harshest season of the year. No matter what kind of winter you experience in your local area, you will likely be able to find delicious pieces of produce, such as:

  • Pumpkins
  • Sweet Potatoes
