Meal salad with pears, pecans and goat cheese

AND WHY NOT PEARS?

When summer draws to a close to let fall set in, everyone inevitably thinks about going apple picking with friends or family. To surprise your loved ones, I would like to share with you a great discovery that I made a few years ago: picking your own pears!

Yes, it is entirely possible to pick this fruit with flesh just as juicy and sweet as the apple near us in Chaudière-Appalaches and Île d'Orléans.

For my part, I loved my visit to Verger Victorin, in Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly. The charm of living a new experience as well as the proximity of Fromagerie Bergeron are well worth the detour!

Who wants to try? As a bonus, you can make this delicious recipe for Meal Salad with Pears, Pecans and Goat Cheese.
