We pick what we'd feed our
own family. Every box of stone fruit
taste-checked, every cheese cut to order, every grazing platter built before
the bell rings.
The Fruit Basket has been the corner-stop on Cranford Avenue since 2004. Independently run, open seven days, delivering locally, and still hand-writing the price cards.
What we sell each week depends on what's coming off the trucks at four in the morning. The bench looks different on a Wednesday than it does on a Sunday.
The Range
Three counters,
one Saturday morning.
01 · Premium fruit & veg
02 · Cheese & antipasto
03 · Meat & deli
