The first year we rented the farmhouse, the pear tree had about ten crates worth of fruit on it... out of necessity, I learned how to can a pear chutney, pears in almond syrup and pear-sauce. Then we bought the practice, and the entire backside of the building is lined with blackberry bushes.
The new house has a baby orchard: two tiny cherry trees, two apple trees, a pear tree and what might be plums or apricots. Check back with me in September and see if I've survived the canning... ;)
