A note from one of our
Open Farm Day visitors:
  "I thoroughly enjoyed the activities you had that day. This was my second open house at Lavender Fleece and if this year was the criteria for future events, you will have another spectacular year in 2009. Great family event! We are so blessed to have vendors in our area that we can feel secure in knowing where our meat comes from and I thank you for making that knowledge available."
