🍐That’s a Wrap on Pear Season 2025

Our doors are officially closed until 2026, and what a season it has been. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank our amazing customers, friends, and family who made this year so special. 🌳✨

We are especially grateful for the support of those who stood with us during the challenges of Hurricane Helene in 2024 — including ASAP - Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project and the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Your help made it possible for us to keep going and finish strong. 🙏

As we look ahead to 2026, we can’t wait to welcome you back for more pears, pies, slushies, and family memories. Until then, we’d be so thankful if you would leave us a review on Google or Facebook — it’s one of the best ways to support our farm year-round.

Here’s to another year of tradition, resilience, and community. Thank you for being part of the Pilot Mountain Pears story. ❤️🍂
