At The End

Sales finely pick up last week, we sent out 16 bins and
have 11 going out this week so far. Stopped picking bags
except for the ones we give away.

It's been so slow. December was colder then usual and
the fog didn't help. People just not getting out.

We've pulled about 80 bins and over 300 10lb bag.
I walked the orchard yesterday and counted
enough tree to fill 30 bin. It takes on average 7 trees to
fill a bin, this year it's taking only 5 trees and you
have to figure a good percentage of the fruit is bad.

All the freezes we had is now stating to show up on
the fruit and if it turns hot it will drop to the ground.
Guess what ? it's suppose to be in the "70" all week.
(#*%!^#@$*!!!)
I'm thankful we got this far, it all could
have frozen in December.

Well, all you can do is the best you can...and you are. We may not eat your oranges, but we appreciate being able to buy them at the store up here. Keep up the good work!

:( its sad about the frosted oranges, but good about the bins getting filled to the brim, right? :) We have a tendency to buy oranges in the winter because its like buying a little bit of sunshine...and it helps us people who live where the snow flies - we wont get scurvy! arrr!
