Harry and David Operations Corp., formerly "Bear Creek Corporation", is an American company that was founded early in the 20th century, with the purchase of 240 acres (1 km²) of pear orchards in Medford, Oregon. The company is best known for beginning the business of mail order direct marketing of fruit, especially through its "Fruit-of-the-Month Club". Their "Harry and David" brand specializes in high-end gift baskets and holiday gift towers.

Harry and David added Jackson & Perkins, a mail-order rose marketer, to its brands in 1966. However, recently Jackson and Perkins has been sold to an outside group of investors for $49 million. [1]
