It would be an ongoing, summer into fall, battle to get on top of it. Three stints in the hospital, three surgeries, and a year later\u2026 those nasty microbes in his leg have been stamped out. As I said last year, collectively we human beings can do amazing things when we focus our thoughts\/energy. Thank you to everyone who sent energy to Farmer Al in the form of healing vibes, prayers, thoughts and general \u201chealing\u201d. It worked.\r\n\r\nSo what about the microbes in the field? How are they? We\u2019re happy to say they are thriving. With our compost making and tea applications, the healthy good-for-us microbes are multiplying and thriving; which is a really good thing. It means less disease in the orchards and more delicious fruits on your tables and in our farmer\u2019s markets. So far we\u2019ve gotten rain when we needed it and warm dry weather when it was critical. The baby fruits are happy, healthy and growing fast. So far it looks like we\u2019ll have an early harvest again this year.\r\n\r\nI always like to hear it\u2019s an early harvest because it translates into getting back to all the farmers markets and seeing all the familiar faces of our regulars. It\u2019s always so nice to catch up with everyone and hear how their winters were. Going to farmer\u2019s markets is a time to get out of the office and talk to the people who have hands on day-in-day-out dealings with our fruit. It\u2019s invaluable feedback. Most of the time it\u2019s all good, occasionally, it\u2019s not such a happy exchange, but still invaluable. We want to provide the best eating experience to the people who are buying our products. Without the feedback, good or bad, we don\u2019t know if we are providing that or not. So please, remember, we are growing all this fruit for you and want to hear from you on how you like it. Or don\u2019t like it. We want to hear from you either way.\r\n\r\nGet ready everyone, harvest 2014 is about to begin. You should start seeing Frog Hollow Farm stone fruit in your boxes within a month. We hope you are all as excited as we are to see what the season brings.\r\n\r\nGood Health,\r\n\r\nSarah.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0A NOTE FROM FARMER SARAH Dear CSA Members, It was April 2013 that Farmer Al was admitted into the hospital for a massive infection in his leg.
