Markets & Pickup
Find SunBlest at market, arrange pickup, or order directly.
For many longtime customers, SunBlest Orchards has always been part of the farmers market experience: good fruit, familiar faces, seasonal favorites, and the chance to ask Marion what is best right now.
As SunBlest continues making more goods available online, markets and pickup remain an important part of how customers get fresh fruit, dried fruit, jams, preserves, sauces, and specialty items.
This page explains how to find SunBlest, how pickup works, and what to expect when ordering seasonal goods.
Farmers markets
SunBlest has built its reputation through farmers markets and direct relationships with customers.
Market availability can change by season, crop conditions, and inventory. Fresh fruit may sell out quickly, and some items may only be available at market or by special request.
For the most current information, check the seasonal availability page or contact SunBlest directly before making a special trip.
Market pickup
When available, some orders may be held for pickup at market.
Market pickup is a good option for customers who want to make sure a specific item is set aside before arriving. Because inventory can change quickly, pickup orders should be arranged ahead of time.
This is especially useful for fresh fruit, limited dried fruit, jams, sauces, gift boxes, and larger or custom orders.
Local pickup
Local pickup may be available by arrangement depending on the season, product, and schedule.
Because SunBlest is a working farm and farmers market business, pickup times may vary. Please contact SunBlest before arriving or placing an order that depends on a specific pickup window.
If an item is marked pickup-only or market-only, it usually means the item is not currently available for standard shipping.
Shipping seasonal goods
Some SunBlest goods may be available for shipping, especially dried fruit, jams, preserves, sauces, and certain specialty items.
Fresh fruit is more complicated. Because fresh fruit is seasonal, perishable, and sensitive to weather and timing, it may not always be available for shipping. Some fresh items may be pickup-only or market-only.
Shipping availability will be shown on product pages when online ordering is available.
Special orders
For gift boxes, larger quantities, holiday orders, custom assortments, or specific product requests, contact SunBlest directly.
Special orders are handled based on current inventory and seasonality. Some requests can be filled quickly. Others may need to wait for a new batch, a harvest window, or the next market day.
Not sure where to start?
If you are a longtime customer looking for something specific, or a new customer trying SunBlest for the first time, the easiest path is simple: check what is in season, browse the shop, or send a message.
SunBlest is still built around real relationships and real seasonal food. If something is unclear, just ask.
