Pear Harvesting, Processing and Solar Drying – FREE!

Pears are dropping!  (What does that even mean?). Our ultra-early Summercrisp pear set a bumper crop and we want to share it with you!  We’ll show you how to harvest the right pears and leave the immature ones, and how to ripen them properly.  Once we’ve finished the day’s harvest, we’ll process for solar drying, butter and fruit leather.   Check out the solar fruit dryer!

Take some pears home for your family!  (And you get to define “family.”  Happy Pride!).  

10 am – 2 pm, Saturday, July 27.  Potluck lunch about noon.
