Pears and Others

In recent years we have increased the number and variety of fall-ripening pears that we grow. We hope to continue to expand this part of our orchard. Pears are sold purely already-picked in our retail shed.

Pear Varieties

We also grow a small quantity of Quince, Paw Paw, and American Persimmon. Local chefs have discovered this and are usually the first to claim our harvest of these unique fruits.
