We are shipping fresh fruits now. First to ship are
cherries (almost done), followed
by apricots, plums, peaches, nectarines, and pluots.
For a wonderful treat for yourself or someone special, why not sign up for
weekly delivery of
fruits starting in late June.
Call 408-782-7600 to order.
Savor the fresh-picked flavor of juicy, tree-ripened fruit only hours after it's
been harvested.
Our express service promises prompt delivery of the finest and freshest California-grown
fruit directly to your door.
Most commercial fruit today is picked firm and immature so that it can be stored for weeks or
shipped to faraway destinations by truck or rail.
The resulting fruit is usually poor in texture and short on flavor.
Our award-winning tree-ripened fruit
has been featured in Gourmet (July 2005) and Sunset magazines.
Our fruit is artisan fruit--grown, harvested and
handled with special care--and known for its flavor and delicacy.
Such fruit is bursting with flavor and character, but often too juicy and
tender for conventional delivery.
We use express delivery so individual customers
across the country taste and enjoy our freshly picked, tree-ripened fruit a day after
it has been picked.
Beginning with sweet cherries in June, then apricots, peaches, plums, pluots, and nectarines throughout the
summer months, Andy's Orchard stone fruit may be ordered to be delivered directly to your door.

SHIPPING
We will ship your fruit only when it is at its peak in ripeness and eating quality.
While it is impossible to predict the ideal time for shipping, please check our Harvest Calendar for approximate
harvest dates for specific varieties or call us regarding ripening times for each variety.
Generally, our harvest season begins about June 15th and ends about September 1st.
Shipments are packed by hand into specially designed, foam-cushioned containers to assure your fruit will arrive to your
door as fresh, perfect and delicious as we describe it.
We use only the most effective delivery services available so that your order will arrive on time.
Orders are shipped by overnight delivery (FEDEX, DHL Express or CALIFORNIA OVERNIGHT) only.
Orders can only be sent to one address.
If you need to send fruit to multiple addresses, please make one order for each destination.
Unfortunately it is not possible to guarantee ship or delivery dates.
It is therefore important for each customer to be available to receive delivery or arrange to have
someone else accept delivery.
Even if it's OK to leave the package without a signature, it is important to realize that our fruit is highly perishable.
These shipments can also be sent to others as gifts, but the gift recipient should also be aware of the pending delivery.
Please call 408-782-7600 if you have any questions.
CHARGES
For the weekly fruit delivery program, shipping and handling are already included.
For all other fresh fruit shipment there are two charges, one for the fruit and the other to cover the
packaging, handling and shipping charges.
For a given package size there is only one price for shipping to anywhere in the continental United States;
however, we reserve the option to charge additionally for very remote or rural zip codes or where timely delivery
may be more difficult or problematic.
