          "Hello Helen and Family and Staff, I felt compelled to write you an tell you how well everyone enjoyed
          your Farm!!! I had a lot of people come up to me and express how much fun the had. We usually
          have our church picnics at one of our churches and just barbeque and fellowship with each other. But
          as you can imagine a lot goes along with that, (preparing the food, cleanup ect.) I think a lot of
          people enjoyed the picnic at Canale Farms because everything was provided and everyone just
          hot a chance to relax and let loose. It was great! I really appreciate all of the hard work you and
          you staff put into it. We had a really good time! As you all saw last Saturday, they didn't want to
          leave. Hopefully we will see you again next year and I wish you continued success."
