Where the fruits and nuts are. . .




No, not California; we're outta there. I'm talking about Harry and David in Medford Oregon. We took the factory tour, and although it's their off-season, lots was still going on. We saw toffee made, truffles prepared, cookies decorated, and "gift towers" assembled and wrapped. A vast amount of the operation continues to be done by hand, taking special care in selection of each piece of fruit and how it's presented. We made selections from Harry and David's Country Village store after consuming the samples we got at the conclusion of our tour.
