Big, deep orange globes, abundant with fragrant juice. They’re easy to section, too, for use in salads and desserts. But the real story is flavor. Hale’s Queen of the Crop Temples are bright and tangy on the palate, with a sweetly mellow finish that lingers long after the last drop disappears. Their extra-thin skins simply won’t stand up to mass commercial shipping, so we select just a few of the very best and expertly cushion-pack them for perfect arrival at your door, or a friends. Harvested in February  –  that’s fresh-picked!

My mother absolutely loved the fruitcakes I bought her for Christmas.

BOGO Honeybells from Hale Groves – two trays for the price of one! Honeybells have a very short window — about a month.  We’ve had them before; extremely sweet and juicy.  My zip code had a choice of shipping the week of January 18 or February 1st, but yours might be different. Shipping is an additional $9.98, which works out to about $2.60 a pound.  Honestly, I’m tired of the tasteless, cheap fruit we get from who knows where during a Chicago winter.  Rather use the money I save on body wash and shampoo for better fruit.

Short note – ordered fruitcakes for my mother and used my address with her zip – yeah, what as I thinking! One was forwarded to my address and the other sent back to shipper.  Hale has sent out a replacement for no charge.  Great customer service.

Grab one carton of navels or ruby red grapefruit (or both) and get a second one FREE ($34.98 plus shipping)!  We’re talking 18 pounds of fresh-picked fruit here! We’ve had Honeybells (and spoken with someone who salivated over Sugar Belles) – always wanted to try the grapefruit.

For over 66 years, Hale Groves has hand-picked and delivered premium fruit days off the tree.  You are paying for quality here, folks.  I, for one, am tired of tasteless fruit, no matter how cheap it is.

Start browsing from the Hale home page and save 40% on select items with promo code WKSP.  I’ve had their Honeybells before – unbelievable! – and am thinking about this fruit cake assortment for my mother. She loves good quality ones (freezes them to enjoy throughout the year) and they’re very difficult to find – the last one I bought a few weeks ago from the bakery was $15 for one pound, so this deal truly is!
