<div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="tahoma">I hope everyone had a restful, happy Christmas and New Year with those you love and are refreshed and ready to endure this cold and snowy winter. Before we know it, though, it will be time to plant gardens and on

<div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="tahoma">Thanks and I look forward to providing you with high quality, responsibly raised poultry and eggs again in 2010.</font></div>
