A Highbridge Story
We ventured 130 feet underground to meet Linda Griffin and see how Highbridge Springs gets water from the source to you. Spoiler alert: they're so far underground that the spring is actually overhead! And hearing the Highbridge origin story from Linda was a bonus.
Mother Land
Not all farms grow just food. Some grow flowers too, and we traveled to a flower farm to meet a mother whose daughters are carrying on the family business, each in her own way.
Southern Heirloom Coconut Cake
Katherine McCutchen’s recipe originally appeared in the Heritage Cookbook, first published in 1998 by the African American Heritage Center of Simpson County, Ky. According to an article at the time of her death, the South Union matriarch was “an influential and driving force behind the creation and preservation of the African American Heritage Center.”
We present Mrs. McCutchen’s recipe almost exactly as she wrote it – in her usual meticulous way, according to her son Keith. It would be perfect for Easter, Mother’s Day, Derby or graduation. Really for any spring celebration.
Thanksgiving Favorites
From our table to yours: Thanksgiving favorites from our Holly Hill Family.
A Kinship in Corn
Back in 1825, United States Chief Justice John Marshall wrote this little ditty “in the Bluegrass region/a paradox was born/the corn was full of kernels/and the colonels full of corn.” And therein immortalized the bond between two of Kentucky’s most iconic agricultural products- corn and bourbon.
