A Family Business When I sat down to write a few words about my family´s business I was afraid it would turn into a we-we story. You know, we do this and we do that. I´m not sure you´d find it all that interesting. But there are some things about our company that translate into definite benefits for you and your family and the folks you choose to honor with gifts. My Dad, Ed Cushman, opened a small fruit store in West Palm Beach in 1945. He packed up and shipped oranges and grapefruit for vacationers who wanted to send fruit to the folks back home. More and more often when the vacationers returned home, they´d write back to send more fruit. West Palm residents began to find their way to the little fruit store. Our customers came back again and again. You see, my Dad had this passion for quality. He took great care in picking the very best crops and then selecting the choicest fruit to go into the boxes he shipped out for his customers. Well, sixty years have gone by, the little company has grown a bit. We´ve got all this high-tech stuff like automated phones, fax machines, a fancy computer, even this site on the Internet. Hopefully it will all help us serve you better. But the main thing, the focus of everything we do, the driving force at Cushman´s, is the same today as it was 60 years ago. A passion for quality. It simply means that when you order something from my family you can be sure that we have chosen the very best fruit from Florida´s premium groves and from the finest small farms and orchards all across America. You can know that the fruit we send out for you will be sweet and ripe; at its peak of flavor and goodness. Everyone who receives fruit from you (including you and your family) will be pleased, delighted, and grateful that you remembered them in such a thoughtful, wholesome, generous way. And isn´t that the most important benefit of all? Thanks so much for visiting our Internet store. P.S. While you´re here, please checkout the world´s only limited edition fruit Cushman HoneyBells®, a rare natural hybrid of Dancy Tangerine and Duncan Grapefruit.
