Royal Riviera® Pears

We love this time of the year—Royal Riviera® Pears are here! An extraordinary amount of care and dedication goes into growing our premium pears, from tending the orchards year-round to pruning the trees at just the right time to picking and packing each precious pear by hand. All the hard work is worth it though, because we believe they’re simply the best pears around, and once you take that first sweet, juicy bite, we think you will, too.

NOW HAPPENING IN THE ORCHARDS

It’s an exciting time in the orchards. With a warm March, our peach trees have all bloomed and the pear trees will bloom throughout April. The bees from our many hives are busy pollinating, and now we will wait for fruit set. Our orchard “frost team” is on high alert to mitigate damage from any late cold spells.
