Get Into the Holiday Spirit with a Fruit Basket!

Kegel’s Produce is getting in the holiday spirit by offering our made-to-order gift baskets again this season. Our baskets can be ordered by calling us at (717) 392-6612, ext. 609, contacting your produce consultant, or by contacting our customer service team.

Our standard baskets contain a mixture of citrus, apples, pears, bananas, mangoes, papayas, and grapes. Other items can be added by request. Finished baskets are wrapped in plastic to help preserve shelf-life, and also topped with a holiday-style bow. These are perfect to give as a gift, share with co-workers at your holiday party, and take home as a healthy snack for the family.

Fruit Basket

Small (approx. 12lbs) (KP 10098) - $25

Medium (approx. 20lbs) (KP 10099) - $40

Large (approx. 30lbs) (KP 10100) - $55

Toys for Tots

We're helping to bring a brighter Christmas to those less fortunate...

For over 5 years, Kegel’s Produce has been a Toys For Tots drop off location. We are happy once again this year to be teaming up with the US Marines to help make less fortunate children’s Christmas a bit brighter. Kegel’s Produce employees also get a team together to help hand out and wrap toys on the distribution nights.

If you have toys you'd like to drop off, please contact Dawnne Monka (x609 or DMonka@kegels.com).

Hurricane Irma

The produce world is still feeling the effects of Hurricane Irma. Florida is still continuing to struggle producing pepper and tomato crops. Mexico is working diligently to produce product for consumer needs. Be on the lookout in December for lower availability and slightly higher costs on tomatoes and peppers.

Grape Tomatoes

We should start seeing improvements in grape tomatoes over the next 1 to 2 weeks.

Green Beans

Supplies remain tight with green beans. Production is likely to improve over the next several weeks. Green beans are currently listed as fair to good quality.
