| A Note from one of our Open Farm Day visitors: "I was at your open house a few weeks ago and neglected to get the names and phone numbers of the people in our community who have the lamb, chicken & pork available to purchase. 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." |

| When visiting our farm during our festival days, your children will have a chance to hug Moses, our farm mascot -- an Icelandic wether. |
