Hi there!
We have recently started providing fruit to the London Zoo with the aim of cutting down on waste food and benefitting the animals. The fruit is perfectly edible but fails to meet our strict quality control standards for delivery to our clients. Instead of it being wasted, it is provided to the zoo twice weekly where it is put to good use in supplementing the animals’ regular diet of vegetables and seeds. Believe me when I tell you that the animals request only the best-tasting fruit which is why the London Zoo picked Fruitful Office!

Hi there!
Spring is a wonderful thing - longer days, warmer days and more variety of fruit. In addition to the well-publicized berries, I was particularly looking forward to the peaches which have now finally started to arrive. A good peach should be perfumey and sweet-scented, and the skin should have a soft, downy covering of white fuzz. When you pick it up, the peach should feel a little soft between your fingers, ensuring it is ripe and perfectly juicy. In the office, please eat it with a napkin to ensure you get no nasty drips on your keyboard, whilst at home they taste great sliced up in a fruit salad!

Hi there!
March is very much an in-between-seasons month. It’s no longer winter - but it’s not quite yet spring. In terms of fruit, this means there is a little less variety than I would ideally like. I therefore ensure that the seasonal fruit I do buy is of the highest quality. For those of our clients who miss the more “exciting” fruit we normally include, please bear with us for now - until spring explodes upon us (which means strawberries and other berries)!

Hi there!
It’s hard to believe it’s already mid-February… it seems that only yesterday I sat here preparing the January newsletter. But this month I have varied, interesting things to write about - much like the current mix going into our baskets and boxes! Just like the current weather, it has been a welcome relief from a harsh winter, and things should only get better as the year progresses! Read the rest of this entry »
