Bristol Farms

You truly know summer is here at Bristol Farms when locally grown California peaches finally arrive. Every year we patiently wait for the first of the season locally grown soft fruit season to begin and each year we are never disappointed at what arrives. Our first of the season Snow Angel white peaches from Family Tree Farms are grown on the western edge of the San Joaquin Valley where the warm spring conditions are ideal for this early peach.  With a beautiful, rosy blush and a delicate, sweet flavor, these peaches are just waiting to welcome you to summer!  If they’re a little firm when you buy them, just leave them on the counter or in a fruit bowl for a day or two – you’ll be rewarded with a soft, juicy, and flavorful peach. At Bristol Farms these wonderful gems are just the beginning, and as the season progresses we look to have some of the best tasting and flavorful fruit that Mother Nature has to offer.  These delicious peaches are available right now at your local Bristol Farms, give them a try and come back to let us know how you liked them!

Have you tried our Bristol’s Own 100% Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice found in our produce departments? The majority of the fruit in our orange juice is grown on the Perricone family owned farms in California, Texas, and Arizona, with only a small amount of fruit coming from Mexico. Perricone controls the fruit from the trees to the bottle and doesn’t use any fungicide or pesticides that have not been cleared by the FDA. Perricone orange juice is produced under such strict FDA health standards; it is not required to be pasteurized. Consequently, our juices are so fresh and nutritious; they are often sold on ice in produce sections instead of on refrigerated shelves. With this high level of freshness and purity, Perricone is fully certified year-round as Kosher. We do not add anything to our orange juice; it is simply right from the orange to the bottle.

In the 1970′s a citrus grower from the Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan set out to develop a fruit which would combine the best of the easy-to-peel Japanese Satsuma with the big, juicy, sweet oranges from California. Although he saw promise in an obscure tangerine-orange hybrid, this new fruit was challenging to grow. Thankfully, our grower persevered. Over time, he developed a series of methods for growing, pruning and thinning his trees, which is different from all other citrus.

It is the biggest mandarin you’ve ever seen. It has a distinctive shape with a prominent “top-knot.” The peel is bright orange, bumpy and loose so it peels effortlessly. The delicate sections separate easily. It’s seedless, juicy without being messy, and it is quite probably the sweetest citrus you’ll ever eat.

Sumo Mandarins wont be around for long, so please visit us and get them while you can! We are expecting a fresh shipment this week and product will be in stores starting this weekend, February 11th. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
