D'Anjou pears are prized for their dense, buttery flesh, honey-sweetness balanced by a hint of citrus, and for holding up well when baked.
Store in the refrigerator, or on the counter to encourage ripening.
Bill and Andrea at Champlain Orchards are committed to ecological practices and are Eco-Apple certified. Due to the challenges of our Northeast climate, organic certification of pears is incredibly difficult. Their pears are never sprayed; only in the flowering stage are the trees treated using Integrated Pest Management to cut down on the risk of scab. No chemical pesticides are used on the orchards.
