About Harry & David
Since 1934, Harry & David has grown to become America’s premier choice for gourmet gifts. From our handpicked fresh fruit to our hand-packed gift baskets filled with delicious treats, we are committed to providing premium quality and excellence in every way.
A history rich in agriculture and family values, our story started with Samuel Rosenberg, a successful hotel owner in Seattle, Washington. In 1910, Samuel traded his prized Hotel Sorrento for 240 prime acres of pears in Southern Oregon’s Rogue River Valley. The soon-to-be-named Bear Creek Orchards were later taken over by his two sons, Harry and David Rosenberg.
Educated in agriculture at Cornell University, the brothers put their training to work. They decided early on to specialize in the Comice pear, with high expectations of its success in the export market to grand hotels and restaurants of Europe. The Rogue Valley exceeded their expectations, proving even better suited to the Comice pear than its birthplace in France.
Harry & David named their luxurious pears “Royal Riviera,” setting them apart from varieties grown elsewhere, and throughout the Roaring Twenties, the fame of Royal Riviera® Pears spread as their business boomed.
Following the Great Depression, the brothers’ affluent market began to diminish. While there was no question that the Royal Riviera® Pears were unsurpassed in quality, their concern became finding new buyers. Always innovating, the brothers devised the idea of selling their pears by mail.
In 1934, Harry & David set on their famous sales trips to San Francisco and New York, visiting the captains of industry and pitching their pears as the ideal business gift. It wasn’t long before the orders were rolling in. It was the beginning of Harry & David as the company grew to become America’s first choice for fruit and food gifts.
Today, the company continues to grow and plan for the future, developing new ways to capitalize on the Harry & David brands. Today, we are proud to be one of the nation’s earliest catalog mail order companies, earning our reputation for unmatched quality and customer service.
Operations
Because we manufacture and grow much of what we sell, our Green Promise goes beyond our Marketing team. In all of our office and manufacturing facilities, we ensure energy and waste reduction are a priority. Here are our top accomplishments:
Energy Conservation
Every year we save over 5,000 megawatt hours of electricity by employing high efficiency lighting, combustion improvements to our steam boilers, and computer-controlled HVAC and refrigeration systems, thereby reducing CO2 emissions by more than 5,000 tons annually.
Recycling:
We have a robust recycling program in all of our facilities. Our team is dedicated to collecting, sorting and transporting paper and packaging materials for recycling. Our program began in 1989, and our hard work earned the US Conference of Mayors Recycling at Work Award for Environmental Responsibility. Over the past 23 years, we’ve recycled over 31,000 tons of paper fiber alone. Here are our current benchmarks for recycling:
- We recycle more than 75% of our office paper and 99% of all corrugated materials.
- Over 64% of the solid waste including cardboard, paper products, all plastic, steel, wood, oil, antifreeze, electrical wire, florescent light bulbs and glass is recycled today.
Marketing
By increasing our investment in our e-commerce division, we’ve successfully moved a large number of catalog customers to our Internet site. We’ve been able to eliminate over 37 million catalogs from the mail-stream, resulting in paper reduction of approximately 35%, or 9,310,000 pounds compared to our 2003 consumption.
Through refined database marketing, targeted product assortments and enhanced Internet promotions, we’ll continue to utilize our website to further reduce material consumption. And currently in development is our new Customer Preference Center where our customers can let us know exactly what catalogs they'd like to get, effectively reducing unwanted mailings.
Logistics / Fulfillment
We’re committed to our customers receiving their gifts on time and in perfect condition. Our Logistics team has worked hard to make timely transportation of product as energy efficient as possible. By working closely with our carriers and establishing regional distribution, we’ve been able to significantly reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Key accomplishments include:
- Increased use of ground transportation by strategically locating distribution centers, reducing CO2 output by approximately 4450 tons annually.
- By increasing trailer load factors, we've reduced fuel consumption by 333,000 gallons over the past three years.
