Hi Patty!

Unfortunately, not this year. I sold out on November 5th. As Mitchel posted in a separate thread on that date, a Los Angeles Times article came out that made favorable mention of our farm. We had already sold about 98% of our crop and sold out on the day the article came out. To top things off, I've had over 300 people sign up for our e-mail list for next year's crop since we sold out. We have typically sold out earlier each year (despite having a larger crop each year) and next year will definitely be an early year.

Pete, I forgot all about you telling me about that last year. I don't remember if I ever shared that story with my wife and son but will do so when the wake up!

I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas!

Harvey
