Our cheesemaker, Joy, recently visited Europe for a 7 week stay, apprenticing with cheesemakers in England, Ireland, and Holland.  Below are some pictures of her adventures!

In Ireland: 1) Cheeses at Market  2) Country Road;  3) Cheesemakers at work

Holland; A lovely country with the kindest of people

     Our dearest husband, father and grandfather was suddenly taken from us.   We rejoice, in our sorrow, knowing he is now with his beloved Savior Jesus.  We have been blessed beyond measure to have had him all these years, and although they were not nearly enough, we know that soon we shall join him.   The love, kindness, and gentleness he shared with all, is not only a memory we hold in our hearts but is a legacy we will strive to carry on.
