Keith Goehner’s face warms when he talks about pears.
“They say you plant pears for your heirs because it takes a while to get them into production,” Goehner explained before a recent candidates forum at the American Legion in Brewster. “The Bartlett pear, some people like them green some like them nice and yellow. The Bosc is considered a dessert pear and the D’anjou is a winter pear … a really nice pear when it’s ripened.”
