ALPENA — The Alpena FFA is holding its annual fruit and nut sale fundraiser to raise funds to support chapter activities. Chapter members will be selling quality fruit, nuts, and candies.

Citrus fruit sold this year include Florida navels, Florida grapefruit, and clementines. Michigan apples offered include ambrosia, Fuji, golden delicious, honeycrisp, and evercrisp. Pears will also be offered this year. A variety of mixed fruit boxes and gift boxes will be included in the sale. Gift boxes include a variety of fruits and some include cheeses and sausages. In addition to fruits, nuts and candies will be sold including holiday tins and refills of cashews, mixed nuts, and pistachios. Candies offered include different types of chocolates, gummy bears and worms, taffy, and a combination gift tray.

A complete list of items offered this year and pricing can be found at the Alpena FFA Facebook page at facebook.com/alpenahighschoolffa.

Many of these items make excellent holiday gifts, and all proceeds from the fundraiser support local chapter activities. These activities include chapter meetings, community service events, travel and registration costs to leadership contests and state and national convention, and the awards banquet at the end of the school year. This fundraiser is the chapter’s primary source of funds for the year.

Orders must be placed by Monday, Nov. 18. Orders can be placed by contacting current FFA members or calling or emailing advisor Melissa Smith. Fruit will be delivered by members on the week of Dec. 9 and pick-up orders can be picked up at Alpena High School on Dec. 11 or 12.
