A personal note…
Ms. Hill is a North Carolina native. She was born and raised in the mountains and comes from a long lineage of apple farmers. Although she ironically doesn’t have a green thumb at all!
Her true inspiration was her tough as nails Great-Grandmother whose strong family values, work ethic and forward thinking mentality is something that Cindy grew up believing in, and is what still allows her to persevere today!
She loves living in Sarasota, Florida and exploring all of the fun things to do here on the Southwest Coast with her two children and her dogs.
