Nowadays people have started approaching diets in a holistic way. The holistic approach to healthy eating focuses more on food as a whole than the individual nutrients within the food. It also emphasizes the inclusion of organic and uncooked food which as research has shown is full of nutrients. The most easily available and easy to eat raw food are fruits. Recognizing this need in 1996 Dan and Denise decided to create Hi5 Produce. Hi5 Produce was originally started to deliver fresh fruits to homes on a weekly basis to help people eat healthier consistently. Hi5 Produce no longer delivers to homes, but the same purpose remains- to help people eat healthy on a consistent basis.
From childhood to adulthood Dan worked at a fruit produce stand for Frank Sigona. He became an expert in produce and the business of produce at a very young age. From the Sigona family Dan learned to appreciate high quality fresh fruit and vegetables. At the same time Denise was an RN with a passion for Holistic Health. To pay her way through nursing school Denise became a massage therapist. These two worlds helped her realize the importance of teaching people about health before they get to the hospital bed.
Apart from the fresh fruit basket , Hi 5 Produce also have a whole range of fruit and gourmet baskets which can be sent as congratulatory gifts to clients or as sympathetic gifts to employees who are unwell. They have a spring fruit basket and a summer fruit basket filled with delicious peaches, white peaches, nectarines, white nectarines, plums, pluots, apricots, mangoes and strawberries. There is also an increase in berries and cut melons, as these hit their peak potential at this time of year. Their fall fruit baskets and winter fruit baskets have more local apples and pears, including Gala, Gold Delicious, Red Delicious, Granny, Pink Lady, and Pippin apples. The pear variety include Bosc, Danjou, Red Danjou, Comice, and Asian pears. Citrus varieties are available as well including tangerines, grapefruits, blood oranges, and tangelos.
