Warren Pears
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sun-dried Sweetness Set
Quartet Gift Set
Our beautiful, juicy Warren pears are a joy to receive. In the Nov. 2011 issue of Martha Stewart Living, our Warren pears were touted as a great hostess gift. While you can get an assortment of smaller Warrens packed in a gift box as seen on page 7, they really don’t need the trimmings to be a memorable gift for the holidays.
A simple yet elegant and useful gift, a bottle of olive oil is cherished by any chef or foodie. Our estate grown mix of olives are hand-picked and coldpressed into a lively extra virgin oil in the Tuscan style.
Three bags of dried fruit made the old-fashioned way--sliced and laid out in the sun. With no added sugar or preservatives, and bursting with all the sweetness of our legendary fruit, this will delight more than just the healthconscious.
A great hostess gift or something to show your clients you appreciate them, this set includes a bag of our chunky, wholesome granola and a half pound of sun-dried fruit. Rounding out the set are two jars of our naturally low in sugar whole fruit conserves.

M
agic at Frog Hollow Farm occurs year-round. Fall and winter each bring their own special wizardry. By mid-October, most of the trees are shedding their leaves in preparation for a winter sleep that will bring buds in the spring. As holiday season rolls around, chill mornings blanket the ground with a gentle mist that twines through the orchard, following the dips in the dirt roads. Pears are the king of fresh fruit all the way through to the end of the year, and in the farm kitchen, our cooks busily prepare delicious whole fruit conserves and pastries to make good use of all that our fertile land has given us. This gift guide was created to help you find the right match for your friends, relatives, and customers. We’re certain our farm has something for just about everyone, whether it’s the classic match of pears and artisan cheese, a bag of crunchy wholesome granola, or a subscription to one of our beloved summer fruit programs. Take a peek and if something catches your eye that would be even better with a tweak or two, give us a call and we’ll do our best to accomodate. If you would like to place an order or have any questions, visit us online at www.froghollow.com or call us at 888-779-4511. Bulk pricing or branding for corporate gift giving is available.
