Throwback Thursday at The Duck! 🦆🍐

Recognize this guy? He is none other than our Quality Control Manager, Craig Mallon — rocking the orchards in 1984.

That year, the pear crop was so short, Craig and his brother (Cary) picked their entire family’s Bartlett crop themselves… all 22 bins of it — just pure grit and probably a whole lot of snacks. 😅💪

Repping us with pride: HRVHS grads Simone Tillman (’24) and Andy Betzing (’25).
So proud to see our pears standing tall next to these two remarkable individuals. 🦆🍐
