Mystery Stone Fruit

At Misfits Market, we’re on a mission to make organic grocery delivery more exciting, more accessible, and more sustainable. One of the ways we do that? With our mystery produce—a creative (and fun!) solution that helps farmers use more of their total harvest, while giving you delicious surprises with every box.

These variety-flexible offerings are a win-win: farmers get flexibility, food gets saved from waste, and customers get flavorful, seasonal produce delivered to their door from one of the best organic grocery stores in the market.

What is Mystery Stone Fruit?

Our Mystery Stone Fruit is a rotating selection of unique peach, plum, apricot, and nectarine varieties sourced from partner farms throughout the season. Depending on what our farm partners are harvesting and what needs a home, you could receive anything from heirloom donut peaches to speckled green plumcots.

Because this program helps us support farmers and reduce waste, you’ll receive one variety per order, chosen based on what’s at peak freshness and ready to ship. It’s part surprise, part summer adventure, and all deliciously sweet ‘n juicy.

Stone Fruit Varieties You Might Receive

Season’s Best Mystery Donut Stone Fruit:

Sweet, juicy, and perfectly snackable—donut peaches are a summertime favorite for a reason. This mystery box brings you the latest and greatest varieties from our partners at Family Tree Farms, based on what’s tasting best right now.

Nectapie Donut (Yellow Donut Nectarine)

A little bit of acid is what gives these yellow donuts their slightly tangy flavor. They’re the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

Peach Pie Donut (Heirloom Donut Peach)

These have a delicate flesh and an incredibly sweet taste due to their low acid levels.

Season’s Best Mystery Plumcot

Also recognized as a pluot, plumcots are part plum, part apricot with more plum characteristics. Not only do sweet apricot qualities balance out the sour hints from a traditional plum, but each variety has its own distinctive fusion of flavors, size, and color. 

Starburst

This plumcot is instantly recognizable by its speckled skin and deep red flesh. Juicy and intensely sweet, this variety delivers a bold, standout eating experience.

Emerald Beaut

The beautiful green color and over-the-top sweetness takes this variety almost into the “exotics” category. The flavor is succulent and features honey-sweet plum and melon notes.

Flavor Gator

This speckled green variety features a deep, red interior that’s packed with juicy sweetness.

Plumogranate

Plumogranate features deep purple skin and dark red flesh bursting with juicy plum, berry, and pomegranate-like flavors.

Summer Punch

Summer Punch is a classic plumcot with light purple, spotted skin and a vibrant interior. Juicy and flavorful, it delivers a bright, mixed-fruit taste.

Flavor Grenade

Flavor Grenade delivers a snappy texture with bright flavors of plum and apple, finished with a subtle tropical note.

Season’s Best Mystery Aprium

Apriums are a combination of apricots and plums, with more apricot than plum. While most apriums will taste mainly just of apricot, the unique varieties from Family Tree Farms have hints of raspberries and plums.

Midnight Rose

Purple Rose

Purple Rose offers a sweet, plum-forward flavor with subtle tropical notes of mango. Its light orange flesh and velvety skin pair with a super-juicy texture.

Yellow Nectarines

Eat ’em whole, slice over yogurt, or throw them on the grill for the perfect summer treat.
