The History of Hood River Fruit

Scenic Mt Hood

Hood River is one of the most magnificent and prolific fruit producing valleys in the world. Nationally, it is one of the largest Anjou pear growing districts producing over 50 percent of the nation's winter pears (Anjou, Bosc, Comice). Additionally, Hood River produces more then 11 percent of all the Bartlett pears grown in the U.S.. The region's Newtown Pippin apple is considered the world's best Pippin.

What makes Hood River's fruit so exceptional is the fertile volcanic soil produced eons ago by eruptions of long-silent Mt. Hood. Tempered with centuries of decomposed organic materials this mineral rich earth combined with pure glacier water, cool nights and warm growing days, makes biting into Hood River fruit a crispy, juicy, delicious experience.

PB&J Upgrade: Breaking Out the Good Stuff
By FLORENCE FABRICANT

And to go with your peanut butter? Jelly, of course. These days, many preserves are touted as being “all fruit” with “no added sugar.” All that means is that syrupy grape or apple concentrates are used as sweeteners, with minimal reduction in calories. Oregon Growers & Shippers, which sells a line of preserves that use seasonal fruit grown on small farms in the Pacific Northwest, bucks this trend. Its preserves are sweetened with cane sugar, tipping the scale in favor of fruit.

A dozen flavors include marionberries, huckleberries, cherries and strawberries. Most are $6.50 for a 12-ounce jar from growersandshippers.com. In New York, Ideal Cheese Shop sells the jars for $5.95.
