🎃 This morning we had the privilege of learning from Lindsay Lash, owner of Happy Hollow Family Farms. Lindsay and her husband Ryan built their family-friendly farm together, creating a place where visitors can pick pumpkins, enjoy seasonal events, and experience the joy of farm life. Lindsay shared how they navigated challenges, grew the business, and turned obstacles into opportunities by pivoting when necessary. To end our visit, we had a competition for the most unique pumpkins to be picked, giving the winners a head start on their 1-100 challenge. Congratulations, Keelan and Lucas!
