Our Choice grade Bon Chretien pears are grown right here on Koelfontein and our neighbouring farms in the Prince Alfred’s Hamlet area.  Bon Chretien (Good Christian) pears are used for fresh consumption, canning or drying. Our pears are grown and prepared specifically for drying and so are especially tree-ripened to allow maximum sweetness and flavour to develop, resulting in a dried fruit light in colour and soft in texture, and with a delicious sweet, juicy taste.
