Here is what Paracombe Premium Perry has told us about cost: $4/kg for pears picked. Entry and per-kilo rates shift through the season and aren't always listed online, so it's worth confirming the current cost when you call ahead.
You can pick Pears at Paracombe Premium Perry, typically late Feb-Mar. Growers will tell you the real dates move most years, so check before you build a day around it.
The facilities we have confirmed at Paracombe Premium Perry are a cafe or farm shop. We only note facilities a farm has confirmed, so anything not listed here is worth checking when you get in touch — parking, shade and payment options all change.
