      All the way from Biarritz, France! The far stand and circular drive look great. We have seen some fabulous fruit and vegetable stands, little stores, and displays on this trip. Best wishes on your opening! Karen and Mom.

      Good luck with the farm stand and hope the farm prospers. Wouldn't be able to look Duncan in the face while we work on jobs together if we hadn't tried to do our part. We'll stop by if we are ever out your way

      It's so much fun to see someone who I have watched grow up at Elliott, working with your mom on the PTO and then through the hockey "patches" years and to see whwre you are now. I am so very happy for the 3 of you and I hope to come out there again sometime soon to see the progress. We enjoyed the last visit so much!! Congrads on the accomplishment...you REALLY deserve it!!! xox

      Wish I could come be a regular customer....I guess Washington state can't call Bahner Farms "local" produce. Christa, ypur GrandDad gave me my first car--a Rambler that eventually found its way to your mother and is probably still out there somewhere. Fun to pass along a "kickstart

      Wow! I'm so impressed at what you've achieved in such a short time - I loved your video but really hope I can visit and see it all for real one day, including the farm stand by then too! Your wonderful offers for pledges look so tempting you've just got to reach that target . I especially fancied the year's fresh veg, dining "à la ferme", tractor driving lessons or one of Duncan's hand-made cold-frames but, alas, can't take these up long-distance so just a set of Bahner Farm photo postcards for now please!
