Fruit Trade

[GTG]

I'd be in for just a straight shipment of Prickly Pear. One box should make 12oz of nectar you would think right? PM me with a price please!

PM sent.

So I've been eyeing my favorite prickly pear patches lately and they're coming in nice and red again this year. I should have some nice ripe ones in another month or so. If anyone is interested, I still would like to trade prickly pears for other fruit, honey or brewing supplies. I'm not looking to make money, just get some southwest fruit out to some of those who don't have access to them. I can get right around 9 lbs of prickly pears in a standard flat rate USPS box that ships anywhere in the continental US for $10.70. I did a number of these trades last year with members and no one was dissapointed. PM me if you're interested.

Thanks,GTG

Im interested in doing this again. If it was legal id send ya a bottle from last year. Lol! I could send some of that Ambrosia honey again if you like?

Makes a great braggot, sure I'd be in for it again. It is legal to send via Fedex or such.

I'd also send through some of my Imperial Blonde, Prickly Pear Braggot if you're interested.

So, I looked up the policies and FedEx/UPS will only ship of you are a licensed dealer and agree to there terms. USPS will not ship alcohol at all ... It look like we are stuck to swapping fruit for honey. LOL! (not that its bad!). So same trade as last year? I get paid in a week or so. Not sure when the fruit is ripe though...

Oh, oops!

Fruit has a few weeks more to go. I could probably use 2 of the 5 lb Ambrosia's if we could arrange something?

Here's a picture of the fruit currently. They are close to ripe, a few weeks and they'll be ready to use. They have a very sweet taste already just not the color yet.

Just to follow up. The prickly pears are ripening really nicely. I'll be headed to MO for a week starting September 16th and returning on September 24th. I'll start shipping out fruit that weeek that we get back unless anyone wants them before then? I'll post pictures later this coming week of their readiness.

@GTG do you still have access to the prickly pears? I bought some of what I thought were the red ones at a meat market, but they don't look the same and definitely don't have that bright pink hue. More of a orange.

Yeah, those are way under ripe - You need to wait until they turn red and have no green left - especially at the top cap where the flower was
