Our family (only adding Grandma and Uncle Bradley) was able to harvest 3000 lbs of ripe but not overripe organic pears in just under 4 hours. YES.. four hours for three thousand pounds!
And we had a ball doing it!
The best news is, that doesnt even touch the pears available. A wild guess is that this is maybe 5% of what is on the trees still.
So.. if you can come out.. tomorrow (sunday sept 14) is the day! All customers are invited to come out and pick, keeping what you want as your reward. If your interested, call us !
Here are some pics of the "test harvest"
 |
| Looking like a nice harvest |
 |
| Wow, nice! |

 |
| Hunter's always ready |
 |
| Kaelyn found a shady pear pickup spot |

 |
| Kaelyn shows Ollie the ropes... |
 |
| Reach Everett, Reach! |
 |

 |

 |
| Life is good when you can have fun just anywhere |
 |
| Attack Hunter! |
 |
| Mommy and Ollie just keep picking |
 |
| Now this cant be good... slipped off the ramps on loading... |
 |
| Always something.. can the truck pull it off? |
 |
| Its Working... sort of... |
 |
| ....... You might be a redneck..... |
 |
| Physics... do rednecks use that? A jack to crank up a jack to crank up the end of the trailer to release the ramp stuck under the bumper? Dont try this at home! |
 |
| Ok, so end of the day.. only minor damage. Lets move on! |
 |
| Here is the day's load... 3 hours of picking to get 3000 lbs |
 |
| Time to feed some pigs! |
