Orange Gift Basket - Perfect Fruit Gifts For Your Loved Ones

Renaissance painters depict bowls of Oranges in their paintings of the last supper, but the Orange actually originated in Asia and wasn’t cultivated in the Middle East until sometime in the 9th century. It does, however, serve to illustrate the importance of this fruit in both history and culture.  The orange may be the most popular fruit in the world, and it’s no wonder considering its fine juicy, tangy taste, and soft texture, not to mention the many health benefits of eating oranges. Oranges are high in potassium, a great source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin C, and in today’s health conscious society, giving the gift of a fresh basket of fruit is a thoughtful gift nearly everyone can enjoy.

There is a region along the banks of the Indian River in Florida that has become world famous for producing some of the finest citrus ever tasted.  The distinctively bold sweet taste of Indian River Citrus is like experience fruit for the first time in every bite.  At the Merritt Island Orchard a place on the Indian River region that is known for its mineral rich soil and favorable fruit growing climate, a family owned company called Harvey’s Groves has been specializing in raising gourmet-fare citrus for over 80 years. 

What started as a small roadside fruit stand in 1926 has blossomed into a thriving grove-to-doorstep delivery business, serving houses all across the country and beyond.  Harvey’s Orange gift baskets make the perfect statement for any occasion.  Your friends and loved ones will be telling you that they’ve never tasted fruit like this before, and they’ll be begging for more.
