Royal Riviera® Pears

We couldn’t be more excited because our Royal Riviera® Pears are ready and harvest season is in full swing. Our founders, Harry and David, described these pears as "so big and juicy, you eat them with a spoon®." They’re sweet, have a buttery texture, and are incredibly juicy. Picked by hand and carefully packaged, we can’t wait to share the harvest with you.

NOW HAPPENING IN THE ORCHARDS

We’re just wrapping up our pear harvest for 2022, but work for the following year has already begun. Our teams are now in the orchards repairing any damage done during the harvest and are preparing our irrigation system for the winter.
