			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We just planted 690 trees!! Join us in our farm share effort this season!</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-612" title="Apple Blossoms" src="http://www.hopeorchards.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/046-300x225.jpg" alt="Apple Blossoms" width="300" height="225" />Shares (similar to a Community Supported Agriculture or CSA) are now available for the 2012 season. Participants who choose to make a cash commitment of $85 before June 20, can purchase one hundred dollars worth of apples, pears, or cider anytime throughout the fall season. The orchard business will benefit by having funds upfront to pay for our spring and summer orchard expenses.</p>
<p>We have found that customers have appreciated this option; while some folks have made large purchases one or two times over the course of the season, others have visited us on a weekly basis. Some purchased cider for the freezer as part or all of their share.</p>
<p>If you would like to purchase a share, please print our <a href="http://www.hopeorchards.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/fruit-share-1-page.pdf" target="_blank">Farm Share Form</a> and mail a hard copy of the bottom by June 20 to us. When we open for the season, we will maintain a credit record that will be updated each time you visit.</p>
<p>See you in September,<br />
Emily and Brien Davis</p>
