Medford, OR is the home of Harry & David whose signature food is the Royal Riviera pear (a Comice pear wrapped in gold foil.) The orchards are bare right now, and this is the last RR pear in the pantry, effectively marking the end of the holiday season for me... It's also worth noting that H&D is the largest employer in the area, counting seasonal and itinerant/migrant workers, #theunknown #lgpbooktour #litsygoespostalOG
