Dan and Alice Todd are 4th generation farmers with 11 acres of organic Bartlett green pears in Potter Valley in Mendocino County. In 2013 Dan’s oldest son Andy returned home to learn the craft of farming and continue the family’s legacy with his children. “If I could give one message to the consumer it would be buy quality fruit, don’t just buy because it’s pretty. I do think there is a distinct difference with pears and where they come from, and I think Mendocino Pears are pretty exceptional, “ says Dan Todd.
