๐ National Pear Week! (25โ31st May) ๐
Can you tell these apeart?
Our hub has started our order knowing its national pear week and enthusiastically got all 8 different pears through the line. Got us crossed eyes trying to tell them all apart ๐คญ
Many Aussie pear growers are under pressure due to low awareness and supermarkets focusing on only a handful of varieties, hence they became price takers for their beautiful produceโฆ
Meet 4th generation pear grower Robert Apted, whose family has been growing pears since 1912. From heritage pear trees to multi-tonne harvests, his story gives a rare glimpse into the families behind our food.
Do watch the interview and discover why supporting Aussie pear growers matters.
Plus we could all do with extra fibre in our winter guts right?
