We San Franciscans love our fresh produce fiercely. Seeing that this city is more bustling concrete jungle than quiet countryside, the pear gurus Harry & David are growing an amazing pop-up orchard near Union Square to benefit Meals On Wheels of San Francisco.

From 5-7:30 pm at 117 Post Street just as the sun goes down, Harry & David will light up the orchard with quite the spread of goodies, from gourmet pears, snacks and a photobooth to pose with pears in, as well as an area dedicated to the delectable creation that is Moose Munch. Taste everything, grab a few drinks and listen to music--all for a good cause to kick off the weekend.
