Advertorial: Awe Sum Organics’ Pear Season Begins

Awe Sum Organics new crop organic Pears, from the Rio Negro Valley in the Patagonia region of Southern Argentina, are arriving now on both coasts of the U.S. "Despite a challenging growing season, due to over half a dozen consecutive widespread and significant hail storms throughout the valley, we will have good and promotable volumes of our Awe Sum tasting organic pears this season. Our customers are really excited now to be receiving our new crop organic Bartletts, and sales have been brisk," says David Posner, President and CEO.

The Rio Negro Valley of Argentina, is a premier fruit production area well-known for growing some of the best tasting pears in the world. Bartlett Pears, highly prized as one of the finest eating pears available, were the first to arrive, with Red Bartletts arriving now. These sweet and juicy pears appear at a time when domestic organic pears are finishing, and organic fruit offerings in general are lean throughout the United States and Canada. "The eating quality of our organic Bartletts is excellent, the fruit is clean, and the size is good," says David.

Besides the multiple hail events, other difficulties this season have included shipment delays caused by the packing house labor strike in Argentina, and the west-coast port strike in the United States. "While the season has not gone without issues, we have plenty of our Awe Sum organic pears for our customers to load in both Los Angeles and Philadelphia," reports David.

Awe Sum Organics is able to provide their customers with a seamless Southern Hemisphere organic pear program (on both coasts of the U.S. and Canada), with all varieties and pack styles throughout the import pear season.  After the Bartletts arrive, the Awe Sum program continues with Abate Fetel, D’Anjou, Packham, Autumn Bartlett, Beurre Bosc and Forelle varieties.

Sustainability is at the core of Awe Sum Organics. As well as being organically certified, Awe Sum Organics is fair trade and sustainably certified through IMO’s Fair for Life program guaranteeing social responsibility at all stages of production.
