Cherimoya harvest hit hard by drought
« on: February 09, 2016, 05:34:17 PM »
I'd been looking at Good Land Organics' website the last few days looking forward to ordering some cherimoya from them. Last week there was a notice that their crop was 10-15% of normal (as in 85% less than last year). I look today and I see this:

Note: Due to the severity of the 2015 drought, our cherimoya orders for this harvest season have been CANCELLED. Our trees are alive, but did not produce fruit this season due to less access to water this past year.  We had hoped of being able to fill a few boxes, but unfortunately this will not be possible. We're so very sorry for this inconvenience (this is much much harder for us to swallow, we promise).  We look forward to bouncing back from this for next year's season.



I hope they're able to have a heck of a harvest next year, and I hope other growers had a better season this year than they did.
