Pears got their start in Oregon back in 1847 when an Iowa native brought the fruit to the region. In 2005, the Oregon legislature named the pear the state fruit as Oregon's climate and soil allow pears of many varieties to thrive. Capri visits an orchard owned by a Japanese American family whose founders were held captive in an internment camp during WWII and she learns different ways pears can be prepared.
