TREE-RIPENED FRUIT
D. Wiggins Sales caters to customers who demand the highest quality fruits and vegetables. At D. Wiggins Sales, 90% of the fruit we sell is California tree-ripened fruit. We have the ability to precondition this tree-ripened fruit to any degree of juiciness that our customers request. Over past summers, the ripening of peaches and nectarines has emerged from an experiment to an art form from which emanates the dribbler. Dribbler fruit is ready to eat, soft and supple. The sweet nectar "dribbles" down your mouth for a simply delicious treat. At D. Wiggins Sales, we strive to meet the needs of every customer in the area of premium quality tree-ripened and pre-conditioned fruit.

Ripening Room
This special room makes the fruit ripen to perfection
Custom Ripening
Four times a day, fruit is pressure-tested for firmness and consistency, and sugar levels are monitored for sweetness and ripeness. Using state-of-the-art technology, our tree-ripened fruit is pre-conditioned per our customers' specifications.

Fruit Inspection
To ensure quality, fruit inspection, especially of stone fruits, has been incorporated in the fruit picking process. The critical measurements are the Brix and the fruit firmness. Upon arrival the receiver and buyer quickly survey for defects and quality. Appearance, temperature, and fruit firmness are the primary concerns; taste is also scrutinized at this time.
