Apples, Peaches and Pears Galore- KXRW Original Reporting- Sept 12, 2025

Folks flock by the bushels-full to Mount Hood in the late summer, early fall to visit 
The Hood River Valley Harvest Festival. this year's event will take place October 10-12.

I drove out to Hood River last month to get some peaches for canning and for
well, eating. Crystal at Kiyokawa Farms shared with me some mind boggling facts
about apple varieties, as well as wisdom about which peach varieties work best for canning, grilling and well, eating.

I hope to get out to Hood River mid-October to geek out on pumpkin carving, apple tasting, live music and to enjoy the abundance of the Pacific Northwest fruit harvest. Thanks to all of the farmers and workers who bring us such bounty and deliciousness every year
