Fresh-From-the-Grower Fruits

Nothing tastes better than a fresh and properly ripened California avocado! Unlike grocery store avocados, Avocado of the Month Club fruits are acquired directly from the growers and are packaged and shipped to you within a day of being picked.

Many grocery store avocados actually come from as far away as Chile. These fruits are picked weeks early, shipped to a sea port, loaded onto a cargo ship, sent to a distributor in the US and then trucked throughout the country to reach a grocery store. The extended travel time and harsh treatment has a negative impact on taste.

Even most domestically grown avocados are picked and sent to a packing house for distribution around the country. The advantage of Avocado of the Month Club fruits is that you get a fruit that is allowed to ripen at their normal rate. This results in an avocado that is evenly ripe throughout, without black spots or stringy veins. You get to taste the true flavor of each fruit!

Welcome to the
Wonderful World of Avocados!

You're probably well familiar with California's most popular avocado - the Hass. With a subscription to Avocado of the Month Club you'll get some of the best tasting Hass avocados you've ever had every month. But the delicious taste of Hass is only the beginning of your avocado adventure!

Your subscription to The Avocado of The Month Club (AOTMC) will introduce you to several other delicious avocados varieties grown on the Central Coast of California

As they become available throughout the year your subscription will include other delicious fruits like the Bacon, Reed, Lamb Hass, Zutano, Pinkerton, Ettinger and even the stunning Nabal with fruits reaching over 1lb. each! In the single month of December, 2004 Avocado of the Month Club members were treated to several different fruits that included Daily, Gwen, Hass, Harvest and Nabal avocados.

As the seasons go by, you'll discover that there is a difference between "green skin" and "dark skin" avocados. Some avocados have a much higher oil content for a rich, buttery flavor while other varieties have less oil for a lighter, sweeter taste.

Without question, each of these different fruits have their own unique taste. Soon you'll be thinking thoughts like "I like the Hass on my sandwich, but I prefer Bacon for my Guacamole!".
