The flesh of Seckel pears is creamy, ranging from white to ivory, and has a dense, moist texture that is coarser than other pears. When fully ripe, these pears are crisp and juicy, boasting one of the sweetest flavors among all pear varieties. Often referred to as dessert pears, they’re typically enjoyed fresh. If you want to get more creative, you can slice and add to a salad with dried cranberries and arugula; cube and cook into a blue cheese and walnut sauce; or bake into a delicious tart!

Fishkill Farms

Hopewell Junction, NY

Fishkill Farms is a 270-acre apple orchard and vegetable farm situated in East Fishkill, New York. It has been under the ownership of the Morgenthau family for over a century. The farm boasts a variety of homegrown organic vegetables and eco-certified fruit, which can be readily found throughout the year at their farm store. Additionally, their produce is accessible through their seasonal pick-your-own operation, CSA program, and various farmer's markets in the Hudson Valley and New York City. From the onset of spring with peas and strawberries to the autumn harvest of apples and pumpkins, the farm offers a plethora of family-friendly outdoor activities for the local community.

In 2016, the farm received organic certification through NOFA NY for its vegetables, berries, eggs, and around a half of its apple orchards. In the tradition of the farm’s founder, Robert and Josh are dedicated to preserving the land as an active and productive farm, while continuing to improve their growing practices for years to come.
