Friends

Thank you everyone who helped us. There was too much to list. But I'll try! Pressure washing, pressure washer loaning, fence building, tree trimming, bush trimming, electric fence re-wiring, post digging, old fence removing, burning, weeding, cooking, child tickling, child occupying, laundry folding, sweeping, organizing, painting, dish washing, coop cleaning, and egg collecting. I'm sure there's more I've forgot to mention.

The farm looks fantastic. We are so blessed and grateful for all of you. We really could not have done it without you.Rick thank you for hauling beverages, food, gloves and debris back and forth. Thanks for helping with the fence, pressure washing, good advice, and errand running. We appreciate all the times you've come up to lend a hand. We know it is a long journey.
Jacob thank you for ALLLLLL of the pressure washing.
Debbie, thank you for chipping in just about everywhere inside and out. From laundry, mopping, dog washing, yard work, pressure washing, chicken wrangling, reading to children, and everything in between.

Thank you Papa for lending us the pressure washer.

Licia, thank you for cooking, cleaning, laundering, folding, sweeping, and loving on our children. Thanks for helping out with recipes and good ideas on gluten-free foods. We really miss you.
Thank you Tim for WAY too much to list. Who else would scrub the siding on someone's house and outbuildings while they are house sitting? The advice is always good. You have a way of taking a big project and making it seem manageable. Thanks for everything from car repair, insulation removal, building projects and home repair.
Andrew thanks for coming from California to be a farmer for a day! We are excited to see what your farm will look like.
Thanks also to those not pictured: Obediah and Joss, thanks for always being available to help. Obediah, thank you for putting yourself in the line of danger to remove toxic, spider-ridden, mice feces-filled, insulation from the shop. I so wish I had taken pictures with those hazardous materials uniforms. Thanks for helping us move, unpack, and help with children.

Dick and Sue, thank you for coaching us on farming. You both are more helpful than any book. Thank you for coming up several times just to discuss how to repair our fence. Thank you for going over gardening, canning, and animal care. It has been invaluable.

Jerry and DaniJo, thank you for helping out with odds and ends projects. We know you are busy with your own farm. So we appreciate the baby sitting, canning, cooking, and building projects you've helped us with.

Greg, thank you for helping out with the chicken coop, building projects, and wood stacking. The work you did brought us over the "Hump" on the chicken coop. It was a bigger project than we thought it would be.

We also had countless advice from other friends and family. Thank you for the contributions!

Thank you all,
Ryan, Shelsea, Luke, and Daphne
