It has been quite a long time since I wrote anything here.  I decided to take some time and write about the great guests that we have had here at our farm in the last few months.  We have really enjoyed the time we have had with all the different guests, it gives us a chance to learn more about other areas without leaving home!  We have had guests from New York City, Syracuse area, western NY, Toronto Ont. and southeastern NJ.  Most have little to no farm background and so it has been fun showing them what milking cows for a living is all about.  Some of the guests are more interested in just having a quiet rural setting for relaxing and enjoying some down time and aren't all that interested in what is going on around the farm, that is okay too.  It has been pretty unanimous among all the guests, it has been an enjoyable place to stay and we are delighted that they feel that way. 

The following are some quotes from some of our guests.  "You all went out of your way to welcome me and make sure I felt at home."  "From day one until the end, we have enjoyed every awake moment, from the delicious supper meals to our favorite past time ... staring at the sunrises and sunsets, staring at the cows and so on."  "We will call this place a small piece of heaven."  "When we arrived we were mesmerized by the beauty of this place.  And the cherry on the top was the love and affection everyone showed us and to each other."  "I love this farm!!"  "The home cooking can't be beat."  "This is just such a quiet peaceful place, we want to come again."

It has been a win/win situation.  We have greatly enjoyed hosting our guests and our guests have enjoyed being here!  We count ourselves blessed beyond measure to have hosted all the guests we have had so far and are looking forward to making even more friends as people continue to visit our farm.
