Aline and Matthis are two very down to earth, honest and hard working people who are also so much fun to have around! It was an absolute pleasure to have them stay on the farm, and they got loads of positive work done while they were here! We miss them already! Thanks for the laughs and all the great work guys - you're welcome back any time!
