What Happens After a Pear Is Picked? | Stillwater Orchards
Field Trips with Tara Beaver Coronado
•
In this episode of Field Trips with Tara, we’re in Courtland, California, with Ryan Elliot of Stillwater Orchards to see what happens after a pear is picked.
We head behind the scenes to see the entire process—from harvesting pears in the orchard to sorting, preparing, and packing them for their trip to the grocery store. In just 2–3 days after being picked, these California-grown pears can be on store shelves and ready for you to take home.
Plus, Ryan teaches me a surprisingly simple trick for picking pears that I definitely didn’t know before!
