Hi Penny
Your parents & mine (Harry&Faith Lowell) were good friends. My husband and I have a lamb & herb farm in Denmark, sell lamb & produce at Bridgton Farmers Market. Good to see that you are keeping the farm going. Hope to be down this summer with Mom to get some berries. Remember they were the best.
