We\u2019re planning an event for our CSA members; it\u2019s a Pear Affair, and you\u2019re all invited!  Fall is upon us at Frog Hollow Farm, and with only 2 weeks left of peaches in the orchard, it\u2019s time for Fall\u2019s pear harvest. <b> We are excited to extend an invitation to our CSA members, friends and families out to the farm on October 23rd. <\/b> Bring a picnic, enjoy the fall weather, enjoy our varied Pears varieties, and desert will be on us! This is our way of thanking your for being a member of the Happy Child CSA.  \n\nFall is the time of year we need to put back into the soil what the trees have used to create the fruit you\u2019ve all been eating.  This year, we\u2019ve started a new endeavor of making compost on the farm.  We\u2019d like you to participate and we would love to get your used coffee grounds. In exchange, and part of the educational aspect of the Pear Affair, will be teaching you what we've learned about making compost.  We would also welcome any and all feedback any of you have from your own experience making compost.  \n\nOur current compost regime consists of fruit scraps from our kitchen, combined with branch shredding from our orchard pruning. By adding coffee to this mix, we\u2019ve noticed temperatures in the compost have increased dramatically from 120 F, to 150 F, indicating a much more biologically active compost pile that\u2019s got beneficial microbes galore. Our next experiment involves mushroom compost. \n\nMore Later, \n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/assets\/FarmerAlSig.gif\" width=\"250\" alt=\"Signature of Farmer Al\"> [\/print_this]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In This Week&#8217;s Box [box_list] Autumn Flame Peaches, Frog Hollow Farm, CA August Fire Nectarines, Frog Hollow Farm, CA Emerald Bueaut Plums, Frog Hollow Farm, CA [\/box_list] [print_this] From Farmer Al A Pear Affair After this somber weekend of remembrance, I hope you are all feeling ready for pears, pears and more pears.
