Just wanted to send a note and tell you how much I have enjoyed your program over the years! I love the positive attitude and the highlighting of this great old state of Michigan and surrounding areas!
I live in Southwest Michigan, Kalamazoo County and I have property in Dickinson County in the Upper Peninsula. Have hunted up there for over 40 years. My wife and I go to Ludington many times during the summer. We feel so blessed to live here and are lucky to have programs like this. Cuz when I can't be there, I turn on your program even when life is crazy and it gives me great joy and peace!
Thank you to the host and the producers of this fine program with all the garbage on TV. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished! Thanks again and God bless.

I was never told about this farm. And it looks like I would be a long lost relative for it. I’m just sorry I can no longer drive. But I would love to see it.

Bought cranberries there this year, during the time of harvest. Way better than store bought berries!

Am loving your shows, the Big Spring has matured since my introduction in the early 70s! Also love seeing many of my favorite things. Thank you for promoting Michigan! Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints. Dad and Grandpa taught us, we taught our nieces and nephew and 4H kids!
