Pilgrim's Fresh Picks

What's in the box: Each box holds a single type of fresh fruit or produce, such as apples, pears, mandarins, grapes or blueberries, bought by the box.

Pilgrim's Fresh Picks is a small online fruit shop serving Metro Manila, run on the Take App storefront platform. Although it appears among subscription boxes, it works more like a wholesale fruit counter. You order whole boxes of a single fruit, and there is also a separate gift box line. The site does not describe a recurring subscription, so expect to reorder by hand each time. The range is broad for a shop this size. Staples such as Fuji apples, navel oranges, green kiwi, blueberries and black grapes sit next to less common picks like century pears, fragrant pears, longan, gooseberries, Japanese sweet potatoes and Wogan mandarins. Boxes cost roughly ₱1,250 to ₱3,000. That suits shared households, small offices, resellers and gift givers, but it is a lot of fruit for one person. The shop says prices can change without notice, and some items are marked sold out, so what you can buy shifts with the season. The main page does not give box weights or piece counts, and it does not explain delivery fees or schedules. Customer contact runs through a phone number and a Viber community, which works for local buyers but feels informal. The site has fruit care guides and an FAQ, and both are worth reading before you order.
