our pear orchards
WE STARTED FARMING OUR OWN PEARS IN 2020. WE CURRENTLY GROW BARTLETTS, RED BARTLETTS, STARKRIMSONS, GREEN ANJOUS, GOLD RUSSET BOSC, BOSC, COMICE, SECKELS & FORELLES. OUR PEAR ORCHARDS ARE LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE HOOD RIVER VALLEY.
Where are usa pears grown?
USA PEARS ARE GROWN IN OREGON AND WASHINGTON, WHERE 88% OF THE NATION’S FRESH PEAR CROP ARE PRODUCED.
WE HAVE JUST THE RIGHT MIX OF VOLCANIC SOIL, CLEAN MOUNTAIN WATER, WARM SPRING AND SUMMER DAYS, COOL NIGHTS, TO PRODUCE SOME OF THE WORLD’S FINEST PEARS.
WE FOCUS ON GROWING GREAT QUALITY FRUIT THROUGH PROPER WATER MANAGEMENT AND IRRIGATION, IPM (INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS), AND OPTIMIZING OUR FERTILITY IN OUR DEEP SOILS.
PEARS ARE A STAPLE IN THE HOOD RIVER VALLEY AND THE LARGEST GROWN CROP. THE EASTSIDE OF THE VALLEY RECEIVES ABOUT 7 INCHES LESS RAIN THAN THE WEST SIDE OF HOOD RIVER.
PEARS FALL INTO TWO CATEGORIZE: SUMMER PEARS (BARTLETT, RED BARTLETTS & STARKRIMSON) & WINTER PEARS (GREEN ANJOUS, BOSC, COMICE, SECKELS & FORELLES).
