| My Son-In-Law is station at Camp Lejeune and I was just down there visiting with my new Granddaughter and my Grandson. They told me I could not go back to VA without having diner at Mike's Farm first. I must say the atmosphere and food were awesome, they were right the Mac and Cheese is the best I’ve tasted yet. You have a great staff that truly understands the customer service and better yet treats everyone as if everyone is a neighbor. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

| Retired from the Corps 19 years ago and last time I was at the Camp Lejeune area was in 1984. DAMN what a difference. My son is stationed there now. His mother and I came down to visit and he brought us to this establishment. CUDDOS al the way. Wish we had a place here in the big city like yours. Number one in quality and quantity. Always service with a smile. | Howard Huff, Columbus,OH | January 19th, 2010 |
| My son is a Marine and he & his family live in Richland's. Last October (2009) we had the pleasure of spending some vacation with them and absolutely were thrilled to have dinner at your awesome farm! The atmosphere, food and people were great! We live in upstate NY in farm and Amish country but are surrounded by extremely liberal communities. It was like a breath of good fresh air to experience your farm based on good ole family values and atmosphere! When we visit again in 2010 (probably in the Fall again) we hope to be able to visit your farm again...at least a couple of times during our visit! Your whole area down there is so much more based on family---- and that we sorely miss up here! Maybe we'll retire down amongst you all when the time comes! Thanks again for all the detail and time you have spent to make this place possible! Smiles, Elaine | Ted & Elaine, Locke, NY | January 9th, 2010 |
| Tonight was our first trip to your farm, and we were absolutely blown away. We had heard rave reviews about your food, and we thought that there was no way you could possibly live up to the hype. I love being wrong! The waitstaff was so warm and efficient as well as wonderful with the children in our group. I wish I could remember her name so that I could let you know what a wonderful job she did! We will be back SOON! | The Bains, Wilmington NC | January 2nd, 2010 |
| My family visited your farm on I think was the coldest night before Christmas. The lights were AMAZING!!! The food in your restaurant was great. My husband is typically not a fan of macaroni and cheese but yours converted him to a mac and cheese lover! My daughter said your restaurant is her favorite, that says a lot; 'cause we eat out a lot. Is your mac and cheese recipe in one of the many cookbooks that you sell in the gift shop???? If it is I would like to purchase it. We will definitely make a visit to mikes farm a new Christmas tradition! Thank You!!! | Julie Chappell, Wilmington NC | January 1st, 2010 |
| Our family visited the farm just before Christmas on 12/23 and had the most amazing time. We have wanted to visit for years and were so happy that we did! The restaurant was incredible! Jenny was our server and she was so sweet and helpful and the food was just unbelievable! Of course we did the hayride which was so amazing. Our 2 year old was so excited it was ridiculous. From the animals to the people, the cute little country store to the magical atmosphere...the whole experience was so worth it. We plan to make it a holiday tradition for our family and would love to check out the festivities at Easter and Halloween. Thanks so much for the hard work you put into making Mike's Farm a super place for families. You guys do a fantastic job! :) | Angie Kahney, Wilmington, NC | December 31st, 2009 |
| We loved Mike's farm! We went on the hayride to the pumpkin patch this year. Everyone enjoyed it especially our 5 year old son. |

| My family has been coming to Mike's Farm every year at Christmas for the past 10+ years. We love everything about the farm and have made it our Christmas tradition! I was only 10 or 11 years old when my parents first brought my sisters and I to the farm at Christmastime. Now I'm 22 with 2 kids of my own and we continue to visit the farm every year! The restaurant is phenomenal and the light show astounding! Thank you for making our Christmases spectacular! | Ashley Kiefer, Morehead City, NC | December 17th, 2009 |
| My wife and I visited a close friend in Jacksonville, NC and he took us on a Mike's Farm experience and I was amazed at the atmosphere, and how good the food was. This was one of the neatest thing I seen. | Andrew Heldt, Rothschild,WI | December 16th, 2009 |
| This is the second time that I have visited your farm. The first time I visited the farm I was 8 1/2 months Pregnant an was visiting my mother. When were arrived at the farm we had to park across the street an walk to the farm. When we saw the line I said that I could not wait that long an told my mother that after my son was born I would come back so that we can all enjoy it together. We came down this past weekend and was amazed by what we saw. It was so wonderful. The temp was just cold enough to enjoy the lights an sounds. I will be coming back in the future when my son is older. At this time he is only two and his mouth did not close once he saw the lights he had the best time. That is what really counts. Your family has outdone yourselves. Thanks to everyone that was involved in the light show they were wonderful. | Crystal, King George, Va | December 14th, 2009 |
| My family and I came to your farm last night for the Christmas lights hayride and dinner. We had a wonderful time! The hayride was so much more than we expected, as was the very tasty home style dinner we enjoyed after. Your staff made us feel so welcome. I also enjoyed visiting the bakery and shopping in your gift shop. we can't wait to visit again! Thank you for a such a lovely evening! | Darlene Lewis, Boiling Spring Lakes, NC | December 13th, 2009 |
| My husband took my 2 children 2 and 1 during Halloween and we took the hayride to get our pumpkin. our kids had a lot of fun. they also had animals and lots of places to take pictures. i will be back for Christmas time and next year. | Kasey, Jacksonville, NC | December 11th, 2009 |
| I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed my time with my sister at Mike's. She pasted away in 2006. We loved the food. My whole family has been there to eat. My sister Sherry Young who worked for Choice also made sure we got to enjoy your good food. We have wonderful memories there. I hope to come back and visit in memory of her with my family. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.... | Sonja Manspile, Rainelle, WV | December 7th, 2009 |
| My family and I went last night (Dec.7, 2009) and had a really great time. The food was excellent and the Christmas light hayride was spectacular!!! Thank you so much for a great time and for finding my daughters scarf she lost on the hayride. | David Stowe, New Bern, NC | December 7th, 2009 |
| Mike's Farm is an annual event for your church. Everyone always looks forward to it. My husband and I never miss it. We always go sometime between Halloween and Christmas and no matter what, it's always memorable and the food is fantastic!! Definitely worth the drive. | Jessica, Wilmington, NC | December 4th, 2009 |
| Looks like an enjoyable event...heard about it from a co-worker and am interested in bringing my husband & in-laws to mike's farm! |

| I was taken just a few months before my boyfriend got orders from Jacksonville to New York. He took me every weekend for about 3 months straight and I never got tired of it. Now that we're in NY we always, ALWAYS say how much we should've stayed in Jacksonville just to go to Mike's every weekend again! It is by far the best place I've ever been to, not just because of the food; the animals outside, friendly staff and overall an amazing home-like feel to it. Mike's Farm is the best! |

| My boyfriend and our friends visited on Halloween this year. We ate at the restaurant and then went on the very haunted hayride! We all had the best time! We are coming back for the Christmas Festival of Lights and to eat some more of that awesome Macaroni & Cheese and ham biscuits!! We can't wait! | Heather K. Wilmington, NC | November 23rd, 2009 |
| It is worth the 2 hr. wait on the porch in sub zero weather. When you get inside and they seat you in the outhouse booth and bring you the hot coffee and ham biscuits. Wow! Down home feeling! Then they bring you some of the best home cooking from the old days. Fried chicken, gravy, macaroni and cheese, corn, mashed potatoes, and dessert. Afterwards you can browse in the gift shop with it's wonderful smells. Then go over to the bakery with it's even more wonderful smells. You can buy some of your Christmas presents while you are there. You will not be disappointed. | Pat Morton, Richlands NC | November 19th, 2009 |
| My Son lives in Jacksonville, NC and every time we go down to see him, we have to make a trip to Mike's Farm. The food is out of this world and I can never leave without visiting the bakery. The baked goods and fudge is the best. | Anne Cohen, Old Bridge, NJ | November 9th, 2009 |
| We had so much fun celebrating our son's first Halloween at your farm. We picked three pumpkins, went on the hayride and took lots of great pictures. We are looking forward to bringing our Thanksgiving guests to your farm to pick out our Christmas tree and see the lights. | Tim and Lisa, New Bern, NC | November 6th, 2009 |
| First time visit to the farm tonight, it was absolutely wonderful. From the delicious food we enjoyed at Mike's Family Style Restaurant to the Spooktacular Haunted Hay Ride sponsored by the local fire departments! Truly a family oriented wonderland full of activities, great food, and fine folks. If you ain't been yet.....What are you waiting for?...Hurry up and go!!!! | Nelson Powell, Clinton, NC | October 31st, 2009 |
| I have been going to Mike's Farm ever since my kids were little. I love shopping in the store where I can find many hard to find and unique items. The bakery is shear heaven with all there goodies. We still make it a yearly tradition at Halloween with the Haunted Hayride (which is so scary, but not too scary). The restaurant has the best food with a real family atmosphere. We Love Mike's Farm all year long with their many activities according to the seasons. A great place to go just to spend the day with the animals and kids. A great place to go....anytime!!! | Angela Weldin, Kinston, NC | October 29th, 2009 |
| The best meal I've ever had.. Puts home cooked southern meals by mom & granny to shame. I can't wait to go back. Everyone was so friendly. You get a lot of food for not a big price... I would recommend this food to anyone... My daughter couldn't get enough of the corn. | Ashela Cassady, Jacksonville, NC | October 15th, 2009 |
| We go as a family when we go. Know matter when we go like for Christmas Hayride, Halloween Hayride, eating at the rest., and the store. It's great fun and enjoyment. Everyone there is so nice and helpful. We love coming to Mike's Farm. We also buy a Christmas Tree there every year... | Melissa Hoopes, Jacksonville, NC | October 14th, 2009 |
| I went to visit a friend the week before Christmas this year. She recommended we visit Mike's Farm and take a ride on the hayride and view the light show. It was a wonderful time and there was only one thing missing. My husband! Next year I plan to visit but bring all of my family with me. We had a wonderful time. It reminded me of the winters I spent growing up in the farm land of Pennsylvania. (My husband was home taking care of our pets.) You have done a wonderful job making your farm family friendly. I wish there where cabins there so we would have a place to stay after the 5 hour drive! | Donna Tokazowski, Hatteras, NC | January 2nd, 2009 |
| Our church came to your restaurant on Dec 21,2008, for our Christmas outing. It was great, the food was delicious, the waitress was so friendly and was right on time for everything, the hayride was amazing. I have never seen anything as wonderful as what we saw that night. We really enjoyed everything that took place. It had a great family atmosphere, and togetherness.Hope to be back soon, Have a Merry Christmas!! Thank YouST. Luke Holy Church, Rose Hill NC. | St. Luke Holy Church, Rose Hill, NC | December 22nd, 2008 |
| I went with a church group and have to say it was absolutely breath taking to see all those beautiful lights. The meal was to die for especially the macaroni & cheese. I will be back along with several others that have never had the opportunity to visit your place. | Vickie Eason, New Bern, NC | December 20th, 2008 |
| My family a I went to Mike's Tree Farm on Thursday, Dec. 18. It was the most fun we've had in a long time. My Grand children were just amazed! During dinner, my 3 year old Grand daughter asked to see Mike and the waitress told him there was a guest that wanted to talk to him. He took the time to sit and talk with her. This was a highlight of her evening. The food was perfect and the hayride was wonderful.. We hope to return again soon! | Cindy Phipps, Leland, NC | December 19th, 2008 |
| Our whole department from work went to eat and for the Christmas lights hayride. It was wonderful. A lot of the girls had never been to Mike's Farm before. It truly puts you in the holiday mood. Thanks to Mike's Farm for having wonderful food and a joyous experience for us to enjoy during this holiday season. We all loved it. | Marguerite Everett, Snow Hill, NC | December 19th, 2008 |
| My husband and I went for the first time this year with our twin 4 yr old boys. The boys were so excited and couldn't wait to go on the hay ride. They struggled some with the wait to ride but loved it once we got on. We were not able to eat since we were there on Sunday and it was only for private parties but we have heard it is wonderful. The light display was beautiful and the people were working their were wonderful. Thank you! | The Reid Family, Angier, NC | December 19th, 2008 |
| I crave the homemade macaroni and biscuits i had in the Fall....I can't wait to go back this weekend. Keep up the good work!! |

| I went on our annual Mike's Farm trip to see the beautiful lights, this past weekend. The Christmas shop was beautiful, I didn't get to look around because it was so crowded in there but beautiful nonetheless. Such a humbling feeling every time I come here. I always enjoy coming to the hayride, it's beautiful and peaceful! Thank You!! | Crystal Shingleton, Kinston, NC | December 15th, 2008 |

I have been here many times as a child and Adult! The food is beyond good. Its like getting a homemade southern style meal right there at your home. Its so homey is like coming home when we walk in the doors! I cant wait to go next weekend for the Christmas light show! |

| My husband and I went Dec 6th and it was my first time there and we had a blast! Wish I could have lasted longer, but it was fun and I loved the part where the Marine went up to the baby Jesus and laid his gift down down. I felt line crying it was so touching. Thanks for having such a great place for people to go and enjoy good clean fun. Thanks Mike! | Nancy, Newport, NC | December 7th, 2008 |
| My wife, Cherie, and I along with 15 other friends had our Christmas "get together" at Mike's Farm last evening (Dec.4th). While a few of our friends had been to Mike's before, it was our first trip and we absolutely loved the experience. The dinner was great and the service (thanks to Ms. Morgan our server) was exceptional. We couldn't miss taking the hayride and what a magnificant tour it was...the displays were beautiful and the entire trip around the farm well orchestrated. In short, we loved it and will be back soon. Lord willing, we will make the Christmas trip an annual event. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! PS- The fudge was "to die for | Danny & Cherie Shell, Swansboro, NC | December 5th, 2008 |

| We're headed down in the morning for the 8th year to cut our Christmas tree. the kids have always enjoyed coming to the farm, feeding the critters, choosing and cutting the tree, then heading inside for a special sweet treat. Y'all have become part of our family's Christmas tradition. THANK YOU! | The Willis Family, Newport, NC | November 28th, 2008 |

| Myself and friends visited Mike's farm on October 25, 2008 and had a great time at the pumpkin patch. It was our first time. While we were there we heard about the Haunted hayride and we made sure that we returned later on that night to attend the haunted hayride. What an experience!!! We also tried some of the goodies from the bakery and fell in love!!! We will make sure we return for the festival of lights, I have heard a lot of people talking about it and I will make sure we return....Keep up the good work and thank you all at Mike's Farm for what you all do. | Alechea, Jacksonville, NC | October 26, 2008 |
| I had the wonderful chance to visit your farm and I enjoyed it. My family and I went for the Christmas light show and I thought it was awesome. We also decided to take a church group and they also thought the lights where well worth the drive from Clinton. We liked the lights closer to the end better (the church, the Bible, etc.). Thank you for taking the time to set up all of these lights and giving people the chance to enjoy them. | Amber Rackley, Clinton, NC | October 23, 2008 |
| I grew up as a Marine brat there at Lejeune. And some of my favorite memories was when my family would load up in the car and go to Mike's Farm. We always got hot cider and a Christmas tree every year! I remember this place before there was even a bakery!!! So many wonderful memories and now I have a family of my own and we are moving to Bragg, I can't wait to make some new memories with them at Mike's!!! | Amelia, Newton, Alabama | October 22, 2008 |

| My wife and I visited Mike's Farm yesterday, the evening of Saturday, August 16th, 2008. It wasn't my first time at the farm's restaurant but it was my wife's first time at the restaurant (and her second time ever visiting Mike's Farm). I told her beforehand that she would LOVE the food and she did! We had our own cozy booth that was very romantic. Our waitress, Sylvia, made the dining experience even greater. What a friendly staff! No trip to Mike's Farm would be complete without a visit to the gift shop. Sniffing the Yankee Candles is a must-do because it reminds me of the Christmas season. I can't wait until the Christmas hayrides start! In Christ, Jacob Bradshaw | Jacob Bradshaw, Rose Hill, NC | August 17, 2008 |
| Every time my family and I come to visit my aunt we always have to stop at your restaurant. We all love it and we tell all of our friends here in New York that they need to go to north caroling just to come eat at your restaurant. Thanks for the great place! | Kayla Park, Ithaca New York | August 1, 2008 |
| I am here visiting my son and his family at Camp Lejeune! They have been at Mikes Farm several times and wanted us to visit there also. So off we went on Saturday to Mike's Farm.

Thank you for this fun day... | Jean Taylor, Gansevoort, New York | July 27, 2008 |

The staff is wonderful! | Wanda Davis, Atlanta Georgia | April 28, 2008 |

Thank you for providing such a special Christmas memory for our family. See you next year!! | Teresa Holder, Durham, NC | December 28, 2007 |
| I wanted to extend a heartfelt Thank You to you and your family for your generosity in sharing with families and friends the beautiful Christmas Light Show. I fully expected the grandchildren would enjoy themselves, but to be honest, the grown-ups had just as good a time as the kids did, proving once again, we are always young at heart. What a great way to top off a perfect evening of fun and Christmas delight with a wonderful meal in the restaurant with great food and service. We will certainly add this to our list of "must do" for the Christmas Holidays to come. Thank you again for all of your time and effort that went into such a special evening and memories that will last a life time. | Linda Rigsbee, Durham, N.C. | December 26, 2007 |
| I have been coming to mike's farm since 1989 when we moved here from Italy. At that time there was only the store and Christmas trees no restaurant. We would buy our tree from there and go onto the store. Now this wonderful place has truly blossomed and is a wonderful place to visit. I really love the fall time there and the festival that goes on during this time. I commend the workers and all the employees for their tireless effort in making this place a wonderful experience for the young and old alike. I always bring my parents here and my children, and now my new grandson to see all the lights and decorations. Thank you so much for another great year! | Lisa, Jacksonville, NC | December 17, 2007 |
| Warren and I visited Mike's Farm last Christmas with our church and fell in the love with the atmosphere. Warren proposed on March 19, 2007 and we decided that we wanted to get married at the farm where we first realized we were in love. Warren a I were married July 28, 2007 at the farm and it was absolutely the most wonderful day of our lives. The banquet room was beautiful and Teresa and the entire Mike's Farm crew made the day so special. We will always cherish our day there and would recommend Mike's Farm for anyone for any occasion. The atmosphere was perfect for the intimate wedding we so wanted, as we were able to enjoy every second of the day. So on July 28th we began an incredible journey together as husband and wife and we will always be grateful to Mike's Farm for helping make it so special. | Emily Ricks Lancaster, Goldsboro, North Carolina | December 17, 2007 |
| We LOVE Mike's Farm and the MAC & CHEESE! Enjoyed the light show and look forward to next year | Jerry & Evelyn Briggs, Port St. Lucie, FL | December 15, 2007 |
| How awesome to know that there is still people that so strongly believe in Christ. It was so wonderful to see that we as Americans still stay up for what USA means and at Mikes farms you truly do. The Hay ride meant so much to our Sunday school class that we come back every year. This year was wonderful and the light show well its just breath taking .I have told so many people how peaceful it is to ride and enjoy the true meaning of Christmas and how at the end we salute our Flag .The music is so relaxing and with it being about Christ made it so much more relaxing .I would like to thank your family for the wonderful and hard work you do for all of us. You give us a place to go relax, eat and enjoy Thank you. | Brenda, Hampstead, N.C | December 15, 2007 |
| We have been going to the Farm for the past 5 years!This has become a family tradition we will not miss!! The farm has so much to offer. The food is great and we really enjoy the hay rides. Mikes Farm will always be a special part of our holidays!!!!! | Joelene, Chris & Austin, Grifton NC | December 14, 2007 |
| I attended the restaurant and the fabulous hay ride light show on Dec. 6th. with a group of 15 from Fairfield Harbour Soloflytes. What a perfect evening! The light show was breathtaking! I am singing your praises to everyone I talk to. I will be back! | June Jelinski, New Bern, NC | December 12, 2007 |

| My family, along with some other church members visited your farm on the 7th of December. We had the most wonderful time ever. My 4 year old was absolutely astonished by the light display and the snow. The food was marvelous, and the hospitality was over the top. Thanks for allowing families all over the area and beyond to visit your farm. We will be back soon!! | The Council Family, Whiteville, NC | December 10, 2007 |
| We just came back from the Christmas light show and I wanted to say THANK YOU! It was well worth the ticket price and my kids and I LOVED it!! The music and "snow" were great touches. My husband is deployed so the ending was especially meaningful to us. Thanks again! We may be back next week! | Gump Family, Jacksonville, NC | December 7, 2007 |

| My husband and I took our 2 year old son to Mike's farm for the first time just before Halloween so that he could go to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. Mike's Farm is a wonderful place to go as a family. We went to the restaurant and OH MY GOODNESS, that is the BEST mac and cheese I have EVER had!! The food is amazing!! We bought some of the homemade fudge from the bakery and that was just DIVINE!!! Afterwards, we took our son on the hayride to the pumpkin patch and we just had the best time. We can't wait to go to see the Christmas light show!! We absolutely love Mike's Farm!!!! | Amber, Camp Lejeune, NC | December 2, 2007 |

This is the second year that I have brought my church for a wonder meal and beautiful hayride through the prettiest light display I have ever seen.
Everyone that went last night is still talking about how good the food is and how beautiful the lights in the hayride is. Thank you very much for a warm family atmosphere. God bless. Pastor Scott Cook |

| Our visit to Mike's Farm the day after Thanksgiving was wonderful! It really made our Thanksgiving Holiday special. The food was so good, the best I've ever had and the hayride was really special, too. It made for a great family outing. I'm coming back on my birthday in February, so watch for me=) | Staci, Montclair, VA | November 30, 2007 |
| WOW! We were first time visitors on 11/27/07. It was such an incredible place! We came with our church group (80 people) and thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas lights, Patriotism!, hayride, gift shop and bakery! I felt like I was home! My family is from Beulaville and when I was younger I spent a lot of time at my Grama's! This place brings back WONDERFUL memories!!! I also didn't expect the food to be all that great, considering the quantity of people you serve... but again, I was certainly impressed! Everything was fantastic! The servers were gracious and pleasant. I can't wait to come again! I'm jealous... why didn't I think of all this??? I'll be very proud to recommend you to everyone!! | Greg and Ginger Page, Wilmington, NC | November 28, 2007 |
| Teresa-As usual our trip to Mikes Farm was great. This is the 4th year I have planned trips for a group for Dinner and the Christmas hayride. Every year we add a few new people who are just as excited at the close of the evening as all the others have been. Your waitress on the evening of the 26th was EXCELLENT and the Hayride was the best. We expected rain, but lucked out and had a full evening. Thanks again, Teresa for all the professional staff that service Mikes Farm. | Shirley Lowder, Swansboro,NC | November 27, 2007 |
| I first went to Mike's farm with my daughters girl scout troop and we did the hot dog cookout, which was nice, the kids had a great time. After that we went back as a family and tried out the restaurant, the atmosphere is very nice and relaxing. Every time we have company from out of town we make sure to take them out to Mike's Farm for dinner. The food is always good and the people are always welcoming. Very nice place to go. | Katey, Jacksonville, NC | November 23, 2007 |
| We went on the Christmas Light Hayride tonight and OH MY GOODNESS!! It was SPECTACULAR!! So beautiful!! I know it must have taken so much hard work to make that possible, and I just want to say thank you! What a wonderful event for my family to experience. We have guests coming in from out of town next week and the first place we want to take them is to Mike's Farm! The lights, the music, the atmosphere- everything was magical. Thank you again for such an amazing experience!! | Miranda Broomfield, Jacksonville, NC | November 23, 2007 |

| Mike's Farm has been a very special place for me to go. Because I was 7months pregnant and suppose to be on bed rest in 2005 when I was caring my son. But I was very hungry and I never at there before so my mother-n-law took me there and my husband was in Iraq. I meet this pastor there that just got done eating and I walked outside. He told I looked like I was in a lot of pain, so he prayed that I would have my son early with in about 2 1/2 to 3wks I had my son. I had a great time at Mike's Farm and even the lady that works there and owns it let my mother-n-law buy the dish that cares the jam of the table since she collets little furniture so I thought that was nice. I always tell everyone about Mike's Farm and I am going today. | Margaret N Jefferson Lee, Jacksonville, NC | October 27, 2007 |
| We live local but we love coming to Mike's farm. We are looking forward to your Haunted Hay ride this weekend. Thank you for a wonderful family atmosphere. We take out kids even there are no events happening to see your farm animals. Thanks once again. | Rhoades Family, Jacksonville, NC | October 26, 2007 |
| My daughter's class, Kaden Walker, went on a field trip with Roger Bacon Academy (in Leland) to the farm yesterday. The hay ride was allot of fun, and even better when she got to pick her very own pumpkin. When the rain started and it looked like the day would be washed away, Cowboy Earl kept a barn full of kids singing, dancing, and enjoying his humor and wonderful singing and presentation. He was a real cowboy, he kept the party going for the kids. | Ann Walker, Atkinson, NC | October 25, 2007 |
| I went last Christmas with my family. We loved it. I cant wait to go back. We plan on going in the next week for the hayride. | The Williams Family, Reelsboro.NC | October 23, 2007 |

| Through my daughters school field trips we discovered mikes farm. When she was two in June of 1999 we celebrated her birthday. Can you imagine roasting hotdogs on a open fire in the middle of June? It was worth every minute, the memories. Mikes farm has been a tradition w/us since. During last years Christmas light show I was moved to tears, especially @ the end. Thank you for providing such a wholesome and to the real core of family gathering atmosphere. Our world needs a whole lot more of "mikes farms"!!!!!! | Marti Whitley, Morehead City, NC | October 15, 2007 |
| We started the family tradition of visiting your farm right after my oldest son was born - and that was 6 years ago! We love to come out & pick a pumpkin to bring in Fall, take a ride on the haunted hayride at Halloween & take a ride through the Christmas show in Winter. Our boys especially love the "cowboy" show! We look forward to coming back in our costumes in a few weeks! | Jessi Aldridge, Beulaville, NC | October 13, 2007 |

| We just love going to Mikes farm! We started going about 5 years ago and it is now a tradition to visit in October to take a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and again in December to see the beautiful light display and find a Christmas tree. Of course we always make sure to add our names to the list at the restaurant. We all just love the food, especially the mac and cheese! | The Lamphere and Seferyn Families, Hampstead, NC | October 8, 2007 |

| Our stay at Equine Country was nice. We enjoyed the quietness. We also enjoyed talking with Keith and Janet. Also watching Billy Bob on his horse. Our stay was bittersweet as we were there to tell my son goodbye before he left for Iraq. He plans on staying at Equine Country when his girlfriend visits on his return. | Diana Iverson, Flanagan IL | September 27, 2007 |
| I lived in Jacksonville, NC for 20 years and visited Mike's farm quite often. I really miss the southern food since it is few and far between out here in Las Vegas. I hope to be back soon for my fill of overdue southern hospitality and those hay-rides! Mike's farm is great for everyone and is highly recommended. Keep up the good work! | Michelle, Las Vegas, NV | September 26, 2007 |

| I LOVE Mike's Farm! This is the best food in the J'ville area! And even though we tend to have to wait quite awhile to get a table, the big open field area outside the restaurant is perfect to let the kids run around and gather an appetite! I also can't wait until the Christmas decorations start going up! For the past 2 years, our family Christmas photo has been taken at Mike's Farm! We intend to continue the tradition as long as we can! Thanks for the wonderful food, awesome atmosphere and all the good times! | Robin, Jacksonville, NC | August 16, 2007 |
| We have enjoyed your entertainment, dining and overall country atmosphere. We have visited numerous times through the years past and have made it a point to bring family members from New York to experience the Christian and Patriotic messages delivered through the means of your hay ride. The spiced cider and hot chocolate are the best. My wife says your mint chocolate fudge is the best there ever was. Thank You and may God continue HIS blessings on you. | Steve & Debbie Ryan, Jacksonville, NC | August 13, 2007 |

We have told all our country eating friends about you. | Al and Dian DeBose | July 6, 2007 |

| On the 12th my family, who was vacationing from California, and I just had to bring them to dine at Mike's restaurant. I was raving about the food to my family and I just had to show them what good Southern cooking was. Our waitress was Silvia aka the one who fell in the ditch. She was just a wonderful waitress. She was so kind and caring. The meal was wonderful and my dad, aunt, and sister just loved everything. As the trip went on my aunt kept saying how awesome the mac n cheese was. Their trip came to an end on the 16th and they went back home to California. I found out yesterday that my aunt passed away not even 24 hours after being home. It has been such a hard few days knowing she is no longer here with us. I find little gleams of joy remembering what a great trip she had with us in North Carolina. She really did think Mike's Farm was such a fun family place. Thank you for showing her such a happy filled evening. We never ever would have guessed that the time here with us would be here last moments ever. From the bottom of my heart thank you, I will never forget our experience there! | Jamie Wegforth and the St.Ores family, Agoura Hills, Ca | January 19, 2007 |
| I'm ashamed to say, my husband & I visited the farm for the first time this year! But you can bet your sweet bippy it won't be the last. The light show was absolutely wonderful and the food was the best! Your gift shop is exactly like an ole time store, perfect! Thank you so much for the nicest hospitality too! | Dianne Browning, Cedar Point, NC | January 8, 2007 |
| I just wanted to say how much I miss going there and enjoying the homemade desserts. My wife Crystal and I used to go there quite often when I was in the Marine Corps stationed at Camp Lejeune from 1999-2001.That is where I took my oldest son on his first hay ride. We really had some good memories there. I hope to come and visit sometime. I really miss that area. Keep up the good work, and thank you for some wonderful memories. | Shawn Jewell, Henderson, KY | January 1, 2007 |
