Vivian & Henry-__-----------------------------------Traveler Plus October 2008 Thank you for such a lovely time - too many good things to name/list. We had a wonderful anniversary and Mary had a fantastic birthday. Thank you thank you!! (and Shelby too) GET HYPE! ~ Justin ~ We had an AMAZING time. I'm not sure what we enjoyed the most -- spending time with all the critters or getting to know you and Ward. The land, the animals, the farm, the house, the experiences, your cooking, your hospitality, your kindness, your knowledge and passion about the animals and your farm -- I could easily go on and on! -- ALL of it made our stay an experience we will never forget. From the moment we arrived and the birthday cake you gave me that night, to our drive home with the remaining cake you packed with forks and napkins -- it was a wonderful and heartfelt experience that went beyond staying at a typical bed & breakfast. Thanks to you, Ward and all the animals (and Justin) for giving me the best birthday imaginable. Much love, ~ Mary ~ Justin & Mary-__------------------ -------------------------Farmer October 2008 We really enjoyed our walk on the trails. It was an interesting weekend.

She fell in love with the horses, I fell in love with the goats, and my son LOVED the cats and dogs. It was truely an extrodinary experience. Barbara and Ward opened their home and hearts to us, answered our questions, took care of us,and still had time to run the farm. Truely special people, the perfect getaway my family needed. The sunset, the birds, the chickens - everything we hoped it would be and evenmore. They shared God's love, God's beauty and naturewith us as if we were family. We loved this stay so much, we hope to come again and make it an annual event, as long as they allow us to come. Last but not least, my son was the happiest he's been in a long time. Special wonderful place. Thank you so much. Haran, Roberta and Matthew -------------------------------- Farmer - April 2008 Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality.

Tara and Chris ------------------------------------------- Traveler Plus - April 2008 We learned so much from your farm mentorship program. I'm so blessed to know that the Lord made our paths cross together. David and Jack liked learning about the poultry and playing with the baby goats. I liked all the hands-on experience with the goats, sheep, donkeys and horse. One day I hope to setup our own farm therapy program for children with God's help. Let's hope hay will be in abundance! Well it's almost time for dinner ~ a real treat each night. And I know you won't mind if we come to the table smelling like goat! Ha! God bless your ministry!
