Customer Comments About B & R Farms
I have spoiled all of my out-of-state friends with the sweet taste of Hollister apricots and they will settle for nothing less.  I sure hope you guys stay in business forever.  You can count on having my business for many years to come.

Thanks for everything!

Two days ago I placed an order with you.  Yesterday it had already arrived at my house!  I just wanted to say "Thank You" for your friendly and helpful operators, your excellent service, your delicious dried apricots and the gift basket that I ordered looks beautiful -- the gingerbread ribbon makes the whole basket!!

Thanks again and keep up the fantastic service!

Just a note to tell you we received the apricots and they are delicious!  We enjoy eating them with every meal.  Thank you for such a wonderful product...we will be ordering for years to come!

Thanks so much!  You guys have already become my dried apricot supplier!  You guys have the best dried apricots I have ever tasted.  I'm addicted!

The apricots are for my daughter's God-father. He absolutely loves dried apricots. Your company seems to have a good selection!

Thanks, Susie! I LOVE your apricots. My two favorite foodstuffs in all the world (take-to-a-desert-island favorites) are apricots and almonds and I was getting withdrawal from lack of B&R apricots. Very glad to know my "fix" is on the way.

Subject: Perfect Birthday Treat!!

Thank you for all the personal attention that you gave my great aunt in sending her the apricots and treats. It worked out just great.

I had searched the Internet for apricots such as the ones from the Santa Clara Valley in the 1920's. I liked your "home-grown" feeling, so that is why I chose B & R Farms. My aunt, who is now in her 90's, had sundried apricots in her youth and they were a special treat. She said they are just as good as the ones she remembers, the ones that she has raved about for years!

Thanks again!!

We just love your B & R Farms Apricot Topping. Here at Atherton Inn we serve it atop our French Toast and pancake roll-ups. Our guests can't get enough of it! Thank you so much for your tireless efforts in maintaining a quality family farm of California endangered Blenheim apricots. Farms in the Bay Area of California are "endangered" themselves due to constant development. Then there's lack of interest in farming due to the monetary payback and the inclement weather uncertainty, so we know how hard you work and appreciate your love of farming. I come from a cattle and grain ranch in Paso Robles and now first hand the hard work and difficult times one can have. THANK YOU!!!!! Please continue to provide us with quality sweet local apricots for our future.

Sincerely,
Tricia Young

Your stuff is the best.
Take care. Dave and Joann, your loyal buyers.
Hi Susie and Mari,

The slabs arrived yesterday and are fantastic! We are so happy we made connection with you and your company. It is so nice to find a company which delivers as advertised.

Thank you also for making contact with my parents, George and Ag Fontaine in San Jose. My 87 year old father just had his right kidney removed (cancer); and although we are blessed he made a full recovery, he isn't driving as yet. So, it was great that you, too, could send them their order of slabs. They are awaiting them as I write you.

Thanks also for the wonderful recipes. Haven't gone on your web site to get additional ones but I will definitely try those that came in the box with slabs.

Maureen

and another letter from Maureen:

My parents are truly enjoying their slab apricots and have told a cousin about your apricots. Ann and Ed F. are also San Jose residents and probably be contacting you too. We are all so thrilled to have discovered B & R Farms. Keep on farming and selling apricots. Happy October!

Maureen


To B & R Farms,

Many thanks for your wonderful apricots and speedy shipping. The flavor of the slabs brought back many memories of cutting cots and eating only the dried slabs off the trays when they were ready to scrape.

We look forward to ordering more from you in the future.

Thank you for the prompt service. I have sampled the apricots and they are delicious!

Poem from Bette

Hi
There once was this man at my door, with a gift that I simply adore
From a Hollister farmer who must be a charmer.
Skilled in making your tummy yell "MORE".
His cots are nutritious & handy, taste buds say more delicious than candy
With vitamins just poppin and fibers a-floppin
Julia Child would say they're just dandy.
So I snack while confidently well fed,
From my toes through the bones to my head.
Tis with much pleasure, gratitude in great measure
For the kindness of Betty and Ed.

In the language of San Luis, I say "mucho Gracias". You're a pair of aces, believe me.

Mrs. Lamport

Another happy customer:

I recently received a large box of dried slab apricots from your place as a gift from my son, from Morgan Hill, CA. I thought you might appreciate knowing that they arrived in perfect condition & are the most delicious apricots I've ever eaten--and that's a lot. :) He has previously sent some from other places & yours tops them all!!!!! THANKS

Dear Sirs,
We recently received as a gift (white & dark) some absolutely delicious (plain & chocolate covered, as well) “slip pit” apricots “processed with sulfur dioxide “ which we gather from the table that you make. When we finished these, we’d very much like to order more. So I wondered if you would have a brochure (a list) describing what can be ordered and how to do it with the prices.

We really appreciate it. If you could send us this information and thank you very much for producing such a fine apricots!


Hi Mari,
I was so surprised to get my cots today, as I just ordered them yesterday! WOW

Thanks for the quick and good customer service, and Happy Holidays to you also!
God Bless~
Karen


Hello Family Business~
I attended the Harvest Festival in San Jose on Saturday, November 27, 2004 and stopped by your booth. This was the VERY FIRST time I've ever tried dried apricots, and now you have me very spoiled. I left with a 1lb. bag and they are almost gone, and today is only Sunday morning, but it will probably be gone by the end of the day!

I also purchased a jar of Apricot Chutney, but that is still safe, until I get to the store for some cream cheese and crackers. I'm trying to save that one for Christmas .... ya right? ;0}

Anyway, I hope you hold your own and don't let those corporate turkeys buy you out, and level your orchards! Stay tough and strong, because family owned businesses are far and few between.

God Bless & Happy Holidays form a very satisfied customer,
Karen


I just read the article in the Country Woman July/Aug issue... and I said, "I've met these wonderful people".
I was with the Marin County RVers.

Again thank you for the wonderful tour that you gave us, Mari, as I told you there, I'm a child of the land and it cannot be replaced by houses. May I have permission to use a couple of your recipes in a cookbook that I am putting together for our group?

Best wishes to you all,
Joyce


We'd love to hear from you too!
