Also known as a Williams pear, Bartletts have the most classic shape, color, and juicy flavor you crave when you hear the word pear. Unique to these pears is that their color changes while they ripen. If you want a crisp, tart taste, eat when the pears are green; for mildly sweet and tender, eat when they are yellow-green; if you are looking for melt-in-your mouth bursts of juiciness, wait until the fruit is golden.

Based out of Ithaca, NY, Finger Lakes Farms is a young company who is working very hard to establish themselves in the sustainable farming world. As such, they hold themselves to the highest standards, not only pasture raising their animals and avoiding hormones and GMO additives, but also spending a lot of time and energy providing the highest standard of living for their chickens. They routinely have independent animal welfare specialists come in and inspect their farms to ensure the chickens are well, happy, and treated with respect. This means the chickens are performing at their peak and therefore providing the best eggs imaginable. With their deep golden yolks, you'll see and taste the difference.
Store at room temperature until ripe, then transfer to the fridge, where they can last up to two weeks.
