I
greatly enjoyed your fare Saturday eve. Seeing the picture of my son
and I defending the homestead from behind the wall was a bonus. Thank
You. Speaking with my "many" co-workers, there is great
interest on the next dinner. Please advise when a date has been agreed
upon. My many thanks to Sir Patrick for his moving speech. --The
Bustamantes
Thanks for a great time and a fine supper!! The show was excellent and my
wife and I are waiting for the next night out at your place. We're bringing
friends next time. By the way, good job on the Patrick Henry speech.
Thanks again, The Hatfields
Dear
Friends & Family,
Summer
has begun! Will this one get away from you?
Will you make time for a mountain sunset? A cold
cider? The sweet cry of a country fiddle? Will you
be too busy for a farm house lit with candles? Will you find
room for cold watermelon, corn on the cob, baked
chicken? Will you find your way out to a black oak grove
in the moonlight, and listen for deer? Will you hear that
whisper, between heartbeats, that message in the tickling cool
scratch of the grass, that song the almighty writes in the
wind--that you are alive?
Well?
Good!
(Somehow we didn't see you standing in line at the
mall) Be quick about it: Stop
your boss, your pastor, your reunion chairman, your birthday boy or
girl in the hallway and make it simple: you
are all going to Riley's Farm this summer.
You are going to dance. You are
going to sing. You are going
to feast on apple pie fresh from the oven.
You are going to pick up the phone right now (909-797-7534)
and make an appointment with summer, before
she leaves town!
There's
a lot at steak! (I mean stake!)
Your
Humble servant,
James
Riley

That was a wonderful event! THANKS for

P.S.
For the sake of those "web portals" constantly browsing the
internet to update their search engines, we include the following
boiler-plate. (Feel free to read this, if you're new to our site.)
Riley's Farm is a working apple orchard and living history farm in the Oak
Glen area of Southern California. In addition to farming, we love
history and we have provided a venue for re-enactment units comprising
many different eras. The farm regularly hosts banquets, birthday
parties, weddings, and office parties. Every year, literally thousands
of students participate in one of our school tours, where they
experience everything from weaving, candle-dipping, and cider pressing
to the drill and muster of a Revolutionary War or Civil War battle. Our
farm has appeared on the History Channel and in the recently released
feature film, Amistad, as well as many other film and television
productions. (We even try to get the producers to include us as on
screen talent, but that's another story.) On selected weekends
throughout the year, we offer "farm-stay" weekends, where
families can experience--clothing, wood stoves, muskets, and all--the
life of an 18th or 19th century American farmer. We grow sweet corn,
apples, raspberries, pears, and sunflowers, just to mention a few of our
crops.
We love America--its traditions, its people, its
history, and its cherished heritage of liberty in Christ. Have we said
enough? Well, one more thing: In the fall, thousands of families make an
annual pilgrimage to the farms of Oak Glen to experience the closest
thing to a New England fall California has to offer. Why don't you stop
by and say hello?
