Family pear picking day!

Today we chose to pick some more pears for the pigs. The previous pears and apples are almost gone already. We loaded up the trailer with the gator and empty trash barrels, and headed out to the unworked orchard. This time we were joined by grandma and uncle Bradley too.

At the end of the morning we had about 900 lbs of pears to give the pigs. These were almost all good pears off the trees, not the ground. Most importantly, we had a great family day doing it!



time to get started with the buckets
finding some fallen from the trees



you can see how rough this unworked orchard is here
but never too rough for these guys!


Juggling anyone?

Nothing better than climbing the tree to grab the juiciest one
