Wonderful person, and a terrific family. So thankful to have been the beneficiary of multiple "great hay baler meals". Now 40 years later +/-, I still recall them in detail, and would happily welcome another. Also after many years of buying eggs and voting locally I can not recall a single time where I was not greeted with the most welcoming smile.

I'm proud and thankful to say the Zecher family has left a positive and permanent mark on me.
