Yellow Huffcap is a wonderful variety, but it is one of those pears that could also be described as a “nightmare”. As a tree it is magnificent; easily growing to more than fifty foot tall. That becomes a challenge during harvest as this is one of those pears which “bletts’…
Yellow Huffcap is a wonderful perry pear with a rich history going back centuries. It is a challenge to produce as the fruit has only a day long ripening window before it turns to mush. If you catch it, you are rewarded with a delightful, rather alcoholic perry with lots…
A joining of worlds.

We tried a dozen blends, but this one tells a story of East and West, of Kentish and…
