Hello Barb and Ward, Thank you for the hospitality and great food you cooked up. Cierra, our granddaughter, and her friend Haley loved the unique experience of staying in your home as a farm bed and breakfast. There isn’t much one can do to compete with all the electronic gadgets that fill their lives but this did it. As for Becky, well what can I say. I think it was pretty obvious she would have gladly stayed in the barn. She missed her calling somewhere along the way. Dorval and I again thank you for being our host. If we get a chance to come again we will look you up. Susan Pennington Price and Dorval & family Traveler Plus December 2007 this lovely place is more then a B&B. Ward and Bar made us feeling of a country home we wanted to stay once in a lifetime. Home cooked foods, animals, open space, and horseback riding etc. We thanked my kids to find CornerStone for a weekend of our 21st anniversary and Ward and Bard for unforgetable hospitality. Son-ku and Young- ______---------------------------__ Anniversary-October 2007 Ward and Barb - We want to thank you so much for your "gifted" hospitality!

Sandi & Al Lane _______________Thanksgiving Package November 2007 Hi Barb and Ward, THANKYOU, I have to tell you that when we got home we missed waking up in the morning to the cows moo-ing and the chickens,etc It was a real blessing for us to get to relax and enjoy your land, home and company.

Kris & Al Engling _______________ Thanksgiving Package November 2007 Dear Ward & Barb, 1st let me tell you what a wonderful time we all had this past weekend on your farm!

Christian &Tom, Cobbs Creek, VA, _____________ Mentorship October 2007 Hello dear friends in Christ, Our stay with you was a blessing to us at a time when we needed a peaceful retreat from the many busynesses with which we need to deal right now. We had such a beautiful stay with you and look forward to a return visit in God's time. Love in Christ, Mary and Jim, Middleton, MA, _______________----Traveler Plus October 2007 Barb, Can't thank you enough for this wonderful stay.

Joshua and Shannon, Amelia, VA- _______________Custom Special -September 2007 For Ruth, it was the comfort of your home (a home away from home!) and the delightful conversation with the both of you. For Ross, it was milking the goat, a little fishing, and regrets only not having the time for a walk and a horseback ride. For Kyle, it was loving your animals and your kindness to allow his help, and for Cindy - the great food that I didn't have to prepare, the beautiful view of the pond in the morning and the joy of having chosen on accommodation that pleased us all so much and gave us a special experience to share. We would love to return if the opportunity presents itself, and we truly felt God's love in sharing your home for a bit! Cindy and Family, Media, PA- _______________ Traveler Plus -August 2007 We wish to thank you for the wonderful visit we had at Cornerstone. Even though it was so short, it was one of the highlights of our extended trip to PA and VA. WE appreciated the valuable information on goats and being able to observe and get in with the goats and Kita. You have a lovely home. Jan and Wallace, Lake City FL, _______________Traveler Plus 2007 Ward and Barb, Just wanted to tell you both what a wonderful, peaceful, & relaxing honeymoon we had at your farm. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. You are great hosts and your animals are excellent neighbors. Darren and April, Lester, W VA, _________------------------------------______Honeymoon 2007 Dear Barb and Ward, Just a note to say hello and to tell you once again how fantastic our stay at CornerStone Farm was. Becky and I had a much needed opportunity to relax and enjoy a way of life far removed from what we have known for many months. Your hospitality was warm and inviting as your home and we hope to make a return visit in the Fall. Fondly, Laura, Goode VA, ___________---------------------------____ Farmer 2007 Hi Barb and Ward, Well, this is the first moment I have had to get back to you. We had a wonderful time farming with all your babies. We have not stopped talking about all we did in such short a time and learned so much. I appreciate all the hands on opportunities that we all had. Also, the one on one for most of the day allowed me to focus on each task and lesson. Thank you for the step by step approach. Brittany had a great time too and felt so at home that she could go out in the goat pen and play with the kids all by herself. She also liked being around the dogs. What the weekend at your home did for me is raise my confidence level. I came home believing I could handle goats, sheep and maybe some other livestock. They are the right temperament and personality. Now I need to transfer that to maintaining alpaca as well. Thus, more research is in order. Thank you again for offering this type of program for aspiring farmers and ranchers. Lots of smiles, Darlene, Brittany and family__------------____ Mentorship 2007 Barb and Ward, Everything was just wonderful on our trip. I wanted to thank you again for everything. We have since made another round of 30 minute mozzarella, and have started thinking about our started for another load of bread (we just finished the first two loafs!). We will certainly be coming back at some point in the future. Best of luck to you and the kids (is everyone out and safe yet?). Thanks again, Miles and Holly__--------------___ Cheese and Bread Making 2007 Hi Ward and Barbara! I can't thank you enough for the wonderful time and hospitality shown to the children and myself this weekend. It was great to see everyone again and a time to make some more sweet memories as well as recall some from the past. The two of you were 'perpetual motion machines' in the running of the farm and hosting our visit. We can't thank you enough!

Natalie and Ashley, The Colony, TX__-----------------____- Farmer -July 2007 Dear Ward and Barb, Becky and I stumbled upon a little piece of paradise when we found CornerStone Farm and it was practically in our own back yard.

William, Shawna, Karley & Tanner, Waldorf, MD, - Farmhand -- April 2007 What a wonderful couple of days we spent enjoying nature at its finest and reconnecting as a busy family. Chloe and Jake thoroughly enjoyed their horseback riding experience with dad. Fishing and biking kept them well entertained, but the highlight was most definitely the twice daily chores and bonding with the goats, which they couldn't get enough of. Thank you Ward and Barb for not only sharing your home with us, but your family too. Mom Jane and niece Gavin were great company! A lovely time was had, we would love to visit again in the near future. Many thanks to you.
