Pear pickin' pleasure!

Fall(ing) Fruit







It's pear picking season here at Smallville Farm. Actually, the fruit has been ready for a couple of weeks and this is the second harvest. The first harvest happened a couple of weeks ago although we didn't do it. Rather, we donated our pears to Shari's school where kids came out and took what they could. Roughly 200 pounds if this sweet treat was turned into pear butter, to be sold as a fund raiser. As a thank you, the students gave us twelve jars full. Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas!

Needless to say, pear pie and and jelly is on the menu.
