Envy provided the ultimate apple experience in a special way throughout the LA area last month; the popular, category-building apple gave local retailers and shoppers a unique opportunity to show how much they care.

Together with iconic radio personality Ellen K, host of the top-rated KOST 103.5 “The Ellen K Morning Show,” Envy partnered with Gelson’s Markets, Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions and Bristol Farms to raise money this holiday season for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

Autumn Glory placed in the top 20 not only nationally, but in all nine Nielsen regions as well. Organic apple and pear sales also soared, with both categories having record organic share.
