"Julie and the DreamFarm team are crafting wonderful programs. Beautifully recorded, interesting conversations and, best of all, creative music. DreamFarm Café has already become a Thursday evening staple for WICN."

"Dream Farm Cafe is Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz meets down home relaxation. I appreciate Julie Lavender's serene, yet, exciting approach to music and the artists that produce it. It's different because of the countryside feel, yet relatable in the sense of the approach of how she gets the artists to express their art through words and sound."
- Music Manager/Announcer, WJSU 88.5/WJSU.org

"From all indications, DreamFarm Café seems to be a very likable show by our listeners! People will call in from time to time and leave messages... 'that they love what we offer' and typically name several of the shows. Comments are typically of general nature... 'they like this or that show' ...and will always name 'DreamFarm Café.'"
- General Manager, WCSK 90.3

"Thank you for your beauty, and your soulful songs, and for making my heart softer and happier. And for sharing the barn, fellowship, friendship, art and music! I will always have a place in my heart for you!"
- Diana Yankes, Online Listener

"The DreamFarm Café Radio program has proven to be truly a special treat and pleasure to listen to. I love that you can tune in, or listen to the archived shows made available. The music here is always top shelf, as [is the show's] host, and added treat, Julie Lavender herself! Good Luck Dream Farm, as I listen and picture myself there, such a beautiful place, truly a journey through sight and sound, a pleasure to the senses, for any listener.... Job well done! Keep it coming!"
- Mary Carmel, Jazz Educator and Listener

"Had a very pleasant interlude listening in on your DreamFarm Café' Radio program. My first impression, of course, was how wholly entertaining it was. You broke the ice seamlessly with your guest. A very natural sense of hospitality pervades as you both shared, sang, and played. It is a hallmark of any serious musician, not to show the hard work - but only the polish. That you do, making it easy to imagine that your accomplished musical guests are regular collaborators and neighbors. It is easy to conceive of myself, and others, tuning-in for the broadcast with a cup of something piping, and an aspirant notion or two. Your show was certainly a delightful encounter, and I am as charmed, informed and impressed as I'm ever apt to be without a ticket stub."
- John Henderson, Canadian Online Listener
