Her personal stories about what inspired the Oh Deere farm stay were especially moving and added a heartfelt touch to the experience. As farmers ourselves, we found the trip thoroughly enjoyable and particularly loved getting a glimpse inside the Love Shack. As Karinda says, everyone needs a little love in their life and for her, that love is John Deere! You’ll need to book the tour to truly understand!”
