Important News

 

Just wanted to let everyone know that Mr O'Neil had an accident at the farm today.  He is at Beth Israel.  He injured his hand and broke some fingers. We will have a barn meeting as scheduled on Saturday (January 2nd). We will set up a schedule to send over some meals. Please do not contact him directly, you know how boss is. He will appreciate the quiet things we can do!  We will make a welcome home banner on Saturday.
