Fifty to 60 customers used to stop by the Hedge Holler Harvest booth at the Mexico Farmers Market each week – which seemed like a good number at the time.
When the pandemic hit, however, business for the farm’s meats, eggs and vegetables boomed. Suddenly Hedge Holler had 500 customers on Saturday mornings alone.
“COVID hit and people quickly realized ‘I need to know where my food comes from,’” said Hedge Holler’s Matthew Van Schuyndle.
