Dear Ms. Ballon,
I wish to thank you for the recent opportunity to explore your beautiful farm and research centre. Your generosity in allowing me to harvest some of the vegetables from the fields is much appreciated.
I found the visit to your farm a hugely soul-satisfying time for me. This experience was a beautiful gift in both seeing the beauty of the season, as well as feeling the rhythm of the circle on the land. As I have recently re-entered the unemployment line, the trip to our farm really helped centre myself toward my goals ahead.
This summer I had a 'trial' garden on the balcony of my high-rise apartment. I grew some bush beans, snow peas, Swiss chard, strawberries, and herbs, along with a few flowers. This was a positive growing experiment with the gradual harvest, as well as the grounding effect of nurturing these plants.
With the recent visit to your farm and research centre, I have seen some of your exciting achievements. In having the chance to taste the many different tomatoes you grow, I now will search for a shady place to grow those robustly delicious Tumbler tomatoes on my south-facing balcony.
Once more I wish to express my gratitude to you. Yours truly, Cyndie
