We want to take a moment to thank those who have supported us and encouraged us. Without them we could not have begun our farmstead project.

First we thank the Lord Jesus Christ for blessing us with family, friends and a love for His Creation. Our desire is that everyone may come to know a life full of blessings from following Him. John 3:16 It is through the many scriptures in the Bible that expresses Jesus as our True Shepherd and we as His sheep that has inspired us to begin a life of farming to better understand those verses and what they mean in a real sense. Psalm 21 He truly is the GOOD Shepherd.

Thank you to the Baetje Family, Steves parents, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews who have all given of themselves at Farmer's markets, barn raisings or many of our other needs.

Thank you also to my mom Paula Lueke who helped us to get started and was there when we needed it.

And what would we do without the tireless hours that Cheryl Vines has toiled away cleaning and washing up my cheesemaking messes and yet never growing weary of it. She has told me many times..."I really do love it." Isn't that what we are all echoing?

Thank you Neville McNaughton, a valuable resource and mentor and a ready help in times of need.

Thanks also to Steve and Alane Burch who are always serving samples with a smile and busy educating customers about cheese.

And FINALLY THANK YOU, dear friend, for visiting our website, we hope you visit us at Soulard Farmer's Market or any of our other locations and say Hello to us.
