Farmers box of Gwen avocados

$36.00

The Gwen avocados in the “Farmers Box” aren’t so pretty on the outside but will be delicious on the inside. They have sunburn spots, large skin scars, or are very small or funny shaped. Most will be perfect inside but some might have small portions that need to be cut out. These are the avocados that would not be attractive on a store shelf but are still totally worth eating. The farmer eats them.

I harvested these Gwen avocados from Laferriere Grove in San Bernardino County. And they are clean, as the trees have never been sprayed.

I’ll pack 8-10 into a box, for about 5 pounds of fruit.

Shipping is on Monday, July 15, arriving to you a day or two later. Shipping is included in the price for all California locations.

Description

Out of tens of thousands of avocado trees, Gwen is the variety that Bob Bergh, longtime former director of the University of California avocado breeding program, chose to name after his wife. It is also the variety that I chose to plant to mark the birth of my daughter.

Gwen is an attractive avocado with green bumpy skin that remains green when ripe. The flesh of Gwen is firm, and some rate the flavor even superior to Hass. Gwen is a pleasure to eat not only because of its texture and flavor but also because its tough peel makes it very easy to scoop out with a spoon.

Gwen can be picked as early as March, but it only reaches full maturity after mid-April in Southern California. Gwen also maintains exceptional eating quality well into the summer.
