I remember a great visit to the farm in 1978. Growing up in the suburbs of Phily and then being on this farm was very exciting. I had no idea what do to to help but what a great family and a great experience. Sad to find out today 8/20/12 that Mr. Thoreson has passed. My prayers go out to the entire family.
