The busy kids have certainly
found a kindred spirit in their fos
ter brother, Terry. He’s older than
they and pitches in to help where
ver help is needed. “Terry does a
lot of work around the place,” they
agreed.
One thing’s for sure. The home
stead may resemble Old MacDo
nald’s Farm on a normal day, but
when MacDonald and his show
take off for Harrisburg, the
remaining barnyard set will
undoubtedly suffer pangs of
homesickness for their
counterparts.
“It’s great to be part of the team at
ADC that produces a quality
product and stands by its farmers. ”
