Thank you Hillside Family!

I am beyond grateful for all of you who ventured here this past weekend to pick. Everyone was so gracious, patient and protocol compliant and I feel hopeful the season ahead will be a huge success in keeping us all safe while still getting our fill of wonderful Hillside fruit.

Most of you know that I am a one woman operation behind the scenes, but for those of you that are new to Hillside please note that I am not a commercial farm with a huge staff. If you call the posted phone number during picking hours it is ringing to my home phone line and I will not be able to take the messages off until the field closes and I am back inside. Also, please do not call my home after 7 pm. On picking days I am up at 4:30 am to ready for all of you and I need some personal time to put all of this down.

I am doing the very best I can to keep up with all of the daily request forms but want you to know if you submit after 8 pm now, I will not process them until the following day.  This is very labor intensive on the scheduling side for me and I am still managing all of the property, and the rest of my life.

I have learned a great deal this past week as I have lived in real time birthing something new for Hillside. As I reflect over the past few months of 2020, it is my dream that we collectively are all doing the same for our world; growing pains and all.
