pears

Pears are a great fall-time treat for Full Belly farmers. Harvested in the after many of our other fruits are done (like peaches and melons), pears are a great source of dietary fiber, anti-oxidants, minerals, and vitamins. Full Belly cultivates a small number of Bartlett Pear trees. Unripe pears should be kept on the counter top until soft. Pears can also be kept in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat them, up to one week.
