Paradise gives back

Strawberry Hill hosted the First Annual Stroller Jam on Saturday night to raise money for the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen. The "Stroller," who writes a daily column for the Herald Journal, chose our place of business to host this event. In order to draw people to this event, the Stroller gathered over $6,000 worth of door prizes and even a car give-away. The soup kitchen gathered their donations through people buying raffle tickets to win those amazing prizes.
Strawberry Hill contributed to the cause by serving nearly 4,000 people hotdog plates! This was an amazing experience to be a part of, considering I have never seen so many people on our farm. At the end of the night, they announced that the soup kitchen raised $9,400 in 4 hours. The sun was hot, and it took a lot of work to feed that many people, but it was a rewarding experience to know that we will helped future people in need of food. Watching the sun go down on our farm, with thousands of people sitting on our Playhouse Field, I realized that it doesn't get any better than this. I truely love this farm, it's right where I need to be, in paradise.
