We get quite a few e-mails about the fruit lady. I think often we are mistaken as being the fruit lady. We are not. We don't get any money from our postings, but we love to share because last fall I loved my ever plentiful counter of peaches, tomatoes, pears....the raspberries were gone before they could hit the counter. It may be hot outside, but with Utah fruit season opening up, it feels like fall is right around the corner...right? Utah fruit deliveries begin September 8th so get your orders in now if you want delivery that first week.
{This is the only personal picture of a Utah fruit tree that I have. Who can play I spy Kathryn's husband?}

Do you know if the fruit is organic or at least grown that way even if not certified?
I am almost positive it is not certified organic, but I'm not sure if that is just because they don't want the hassle of red tape to get that label. I would call Barbie to see.
Thanks, will do.
I emailed Barbie and she said that the fruit is not certified organic, but it is not sprayed. Yippee!!
So can you go and buy fruit at the fruit stand without ordering it first? I'm not sure I need a giant box of fruit at one time. :)
BriAnne, often they have extra fruit on the day of pick-up, but it is still by the box. If you don't want a huge box by yourself, maybe you could find a friend or family member that would split a box with you.
I called and talked to her and she confirmed it was not sprayed but told a friend and he called and was told by her husband that they do spray.. then the fruit lady called back and said they only spray the apples. I was really hoping this was the real deal but based on this happening I don't have a good feeling about it.
