Asian Pears are round and russeted with wonderful sweet pear flavor. Champlain Orchards has started growing these and has three excellent varieties. Each week they will send the best for you to try. They are Shinsui, Shinseki, Olympic or Hosui.
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 apples is incredibly difficult. Their apples 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.
