Now spending my Golden Years in Southern Cal and found comice pears in my local market. A friend in Medford sends them to me every year. To my surprise, the box the produce girl brought out said Piggy Pears, Medford, Oregon. No cute label of course and cardboard, but I had seen your label before. I miss the Rogue Valley, yummy pears!

If you do an internet search for "crate labels" or "wooden crate labels" you'll get a few hits for all different kinds of them -- the graphics, the colors, etc., are just astounding!

They still grow apples and pears nearby--and if you've ever heard of Harry and David, that's where they're based. I think you would be disappointed by current photos of Medford, but nearby Ashland is where my family lives, and it's a charming place.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743429387466266100.post-88684615857816181232012-10-15T05:24:45.797-07:002012-10-15T05:24:45.797-07:00I was hoping that Medford is closer to you -- if y...I was hoping that Medford is closer to you -- if you ever get there, take lots of photos for me!

I enjoyed learning about how it was settled and how the fruit industry began there. Lucky you to have that cute wooden pear box. <br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.com
