The rain also takes away the chilling hours I mentioned in last week's newsletter. Certain fruit require so many hours of 45 degrees and below temperature. \u00a0This will affect some varieties of our apricots, cherries (more specifically the Bings) and pears, possibly meaning another light harvest in 2011. Our peaches, plums, and nectarines should not be affected by this wet weather. \u00a0While the rain can have a negative impact on some of our trees, we are more than happy to have the moisture. \u00a0This is the true essence of farming. \u00a0The \"not so good\" always brings a positive.\n\nOn that note... we are still working through the transition of our CSA, listening to your feedback in regards to the changes we've made. \u00a0The changes we've recently made have been designed to help the farm while giving you a stronger CSA built around community, place, and fresh, organic fruit. \u00a0Please continue to visit our new website, www.happychildcsa.com, for updates and improvements to your membership. \u00a0We value you as a member and supporter of our farm and highly value your feedback.\n\nDespite the short and \"not so sweet\" update, we are looking forward to a fantastic 2011, building stronger, long-lasting, relationships with each of you. \u00a0Thank you for all of your support along the way... Happy New Year!\n\nOrganically Yours,\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/assets\/FarmerAlSig.gif\" width=\"250\" alt=\"Signature of Farmer Al\">\n\n[\/print_this]\n\n<h2>Give Us Your Feedback<\/h2>\nWe depend on your weekly feedback.\u00a0<a title=\"Survey\" href=\"http:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s\/HBZ9QHF\" target=\"_blank\"> Click here to take the survey.<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wet weather continues to hit us here in Brentwood, which keeps us from our winter work of pruning the trees for next year&#8217;s harvest.
