FRESH EUROPEAN GOOSEBERRIES ARE HERE!

This season is going to be much shorter than usual due to the heat. The berries have been ripening so darn fast. Normally we pick them green and they ripen slowly, this year we got most of them green but they were ripening as we carried them back to our refrigerators! So this year there is a mixture of pink and green berries with more pink than usual

Price is the same as last year $13.00 lb

We sell mostly direct from our farm in Central New Jersey. Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing.

PLEASE NOTE.
These are EUROPEAN gooseberries NOT Indian gooseberries or Star, Chinese or Cape gooseberries. Please check this page if you are unsure about which kind you are really looking for.

Shipping Gooseberries. We can ship for a very limited time. We only ship Next Day Air via UPS. We use insulated boxes with cold packs. Due to the heat shipping any other way is going to be very disappointing to the customer. We have two box sizes 3 lb and 6 lb. Shipping cost for 3lb is $85, 6lb is $105. Please note that if you 'Estimate Shipping' before checkout, the cost shown for shipping is correct but the carrier and weight are wrong. We are working to correct that.

How do Gooseberries fair when frozen?
Gooseberries are unusual in that they don't suffer much from being frozen. They have a tougher skin (but not inedible) than most soft fruits which keeps the berry together so when they defrost they are pretty much the same as a fresh one. The taste and texture are the same and most people can't tell the difference.
The most popular way to use gooseberries is pureed, added to smoothies and desserts so having frozen ones makes no difference. However we would recommend that unless you have an industrial blender you allow the berries to defrost just slightly before putting them in to blend or it's like trying to blend steel ball bearings and the blender suffers.
