Week 17: Featuring Asian Pears

Posted on August 19th, 2019 by Agriberry Farm

We have Asian pears from Silver Creek Orchard in Nelson County VA in the shares this week. For those who are new to Asian pears: they stay crisp like an apple, but taste like a pear. They'll be somewhat green when you receive your share pears. Keep them in the refrigerator until they get dark yellow - then they'll be best to enjoy, quite sweet and very juicy! Asian pears will keep well in the refrigerator for a while, but finish them up before they've been golden color for too long.

Yellow peaches are from the Hollabaugh Bros Orchard in Pennsylvania.

Blackberries and raspberries are still being picked in our Hanover fields. The crew is dwindling, going off to school. We're looking for help with the fall harvest - the raspberries will continue fruiting until frost.
