Warren Pears are available until early January. This is Frog Hollow Farm's signature pear and for good reason. They are too difficult to grow for most farmers to consider so it's never caught on commercially but Farmer Al has never shied away from putting the time and effort into a fruit that tastes so good. The Warren Pear has a classic European texture, very soft and juicy with a silky sweetness that avoids the typical grittiness found in most pears. It was discovered by Thomas Oscar Warren growing naturally outside a post office in Hattiesburg, MS. Once known as the Post Office pear, it's taken on its founder name is a favorite of chefs.
