Boston Mountain Pawpaw Festival opens ripe pawpaws to reveal their custard-soft fruit, with growers comparing cultivars and woodland cultivation methods. Tastings, music, and seedling advice circle around an overlooked native crop. Chester treats the pawpaw as worth genuine agricultural attention rather than a passing novelty.
