Dear Riley’s Farm,
I just wanted to thank you for letting us stay at Riley’s Farm. My favorite thing was the Patrick Henry speech. It really made me think what it was like back then. And the pie you guys made was crazy good. It was so good it was gone in a day. you guys were truly amazing.

Dear Riley’s Farm,
Thank you for the amazing field trip!! It took a lot of time to set up, probably. It was fun overall. The games were super fun, especially the sort of baseball game. My favorite part was the hike. We saw so many animals. Thank you so much.

Dear Riley’s Farm,
Here are some reasons why I enjoyed the overnight field trip. One reason is the dancing at night. I thought I would not like it, but it was very fun. I thank you for all your hard work shown. I hope to come again, also breakfast an dinner was very good. The only thing that was unsettling was the night. I was very cold. Those are some pros and cons of our field trip!
Sincerely,
Anjolie
Dear Riley’s Farm,
Thank you for the wonderful and interactive experience. I now know how to weave, dip candles, do basic war commands, and write with a quill and ink. You really made an impact on me, and I really appreciate it. My favorite part was hearing from Patrick Henry and about how hard he had to work to get where he was. I would like to thank you specifically for the food. It was very good.
Sincerely,
Ellie

Dear Riley’s Farm Employees,
Riley’s Farm was so fun especially because of you. It made it so much more fun when you stayed in character which made it feel like we were more there. Thank you for committing to your character and thank you to the people who made the food because it was really good. Everyone was so fun to be around and it made the trip 10x better. Also, if Sergeant Smalls is reading this, I still think that the trees need prayer books. Thank you again for making everything so fun and I appreciate the work that everyone went through to make this more engaging and interesting.

Thank you so so much. I had so much fun. I loved all the activities so much. I think the pest part was the activity where we churned butter, made flour, and made bread. Thank you so much to all the Riley’s Farm employees. I loved the food and everything.
