To accommodate every pack style, the sizing system used by the industry today is regulated to the maximum number of pieces in a 16 pound sample. Weight-counts are set for each size designation and are regulated by the industry through third-party inspection at the time of packing. Approximate minimum diameters have been determined for each size but the true standard of size is the weight count sample.

Ready to Eat

Plums processing Fruit Patch has perfected the ripening process to ensure delivery of the juiciest, sweetest and best tasting fruit to our consumers. There are two methods used to ripen our fruit:

Pre-ripening
- Only the strongest varieties are selected
- Upon harvest, each lot is checked for quality, brix and pressures
- For the sweetest and juiciest taste, only the first and second harvest picks are used
- Fruit is held in our state-of-the-art ripening room, complete with computer controlled humidity and temperature settings
- Fruit is constantly monitored for any reduction in pressure and increase in juiciness
- Random sampling is conducted to ensure ideal flavor during and after the packing process
Tree Ripening
- All natural ripening occurs on the tree
- Fruit is harvested at optimum maturity with ideal brix and pressures
- Varieties are carefully selected for flavor and vibrant skin color
- Each lot is checked for top quality before and after packing
