Cold Snap™ pears are Canada’s first indigenous pear variety available in stores from fall until spring. This new variety is proudly grown by Canadian farmers in Ontario’s Niagara Region, and Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. They’re crisp, juicy, and flavourful, which makes them a tasty alternative to imported pears. Cold Snap™ pears have a higher resistance to disease and a longer storage life tha
n other varieties, so you can enjoy this pear throughout Canada’s long winter months! Cold Snap™ pears are grown and distributed by Vineland Growers Co-operative Ltd. This project was funded in part through Growing Forward 2, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative. The Agricultural Adaptation Council assists in the delivery of Growing Forward 2 in Ontario.
