$5.99
The Hosui Asian Pear has a snappy, tangy taste. This variety is sweet like a pear and crisp like an apple with lots of juice. They are medium to large in size with an attractive golden-russet skin that you're familiar with seeing on "Asian Pears." They are best for fresh eating but also make great pies! Introduced here from Japan in the 1970s.

They were joined by their son, Shawn, in 2005 after he graduated from Penn State with a degree in Horticulture, and in 2009 by Melissa Allen, their daughter. She brought her two small daughters Isabelle and Cammy who have already begun to show an interest in agriculture. They are members of Pennsylvania Association of Sustainable Agriculture and practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to control disease and pests in the field. IPM is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment.
