A Note from the Family
To our friends and customers,
We want to thank you all for your patience and flexibility as we dealt with the severe weather situations these past several weekends! As farmers, we have to quickly adapt to what Mother Nature brings us, and unfortunately, that was a lot of wind, rain and mud this season. It was challenging to say the least. But we want to thank our amazing staff and our intrepid customers for their understanding and support!
Thanks again for continuing to be a part of the Prospect Hill Family!
