A small community in SD called Vivian


We purchased 2 ears of corn, 5 zucchinis, and 2 beautiful tomatoes, all for just $2(A donation for the local church). This little town of only about 100 residents was hit by a devastating hail storm this past July. The stones were the size of a soccer ball!! They put holes in several of the roofs and landed inside of the homes. As we rode around town we saw several roofs being repaired. The people at the vegetable stand were very friendly and have labeled their little town "The hail capitol of the world". fortunately there were no serious injuries to people but a couple of cows and a deer were killed by the hail stones. It was a very localized storm and came without any warning.
