Pear Tour Highlights

Thank you all for joining us last Saturday for our Pear Tour in Parkdale. The weather was wonderfully sunny, with temperatures rising by the minute, but we all had a great time learning. Mike, an experienced orchardist and Parkdale resident, shared invaluable insights into the world of pear and apple cultivation. He covered everything from the technical aspects of growing these fruits to the economic factors, such as labor costs and the demands faced by farmers. Mike also emphasized the crucial role of immigrant labor in sustaining the orchards. We cannot wait to welcome you to our next tour!
