A...The quarantine area is small--an 89 mile circle. And the methods for dealing with the fly are advanced. These guys know what they're doing and they'll eradicate that fly quickly, if they haven't already. Yes, Julie, it's a relatively new problem--a few weeks. <br /><br />Earl, the fly was found in Altadena, I believe. It's no big deal if people want to bring fruit into the area but it <i>is</i> a big deal to take it out. Many of the farmers at the market come from outside the 89-mile area. Not wanting to lose business, they comply with the netting rules so they can bring their produce in and take it out again.<br /><br />I don't know if any quarantined produce was being sold, but I don't think so, as I think that's against the rules of the quarantine. I don't believe people were buying quarantined produce and taking it wherever they wanted to. That would defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?<br /><br />I can attest to the fact that the peaches are delicious. You can get cheaper ones in the grocery stores, but they were picked many days before when they weren't ripe and they're not as good. These ripened on the branch instead of in the truck.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-71646883236103449132010-09-01T07:02:46.739-07:002010-09-01T07:02:46.739-07:00I hope that the FF problem is resolved quickly.

I'm confused. If there's a quarantine, I would think that there would be a ban on bringing fruit into or out of the area. But maybe the only concern is that the local flies will be taken out of the area rather than other flies being brought in. It just seems strange that if residents are not supposed to move fruit out of the area, that a farmers market would be allowed where people can take fruit anywhere they want after they buy it.Mister Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405041951237611622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-52466978813753975892010-09-01T05:56:37.579-07:002010-09-01T05:56:37.579-07:00Love the photo; sorry about the quarantine.
