Our website is currently down and should be back up shortly. A message from Chris Vanderpool, our site maintainer:

FYI - Our website was recently hacked. If you were to visit it through google chrome you would get a warning that said the site contains malware. I believe it was done through the old contact forms from the original website. I would still receive spam mail from the site forms from time to time.


There were hundreds of lines of code that need to be manually searched out and deleted to clean the site. This would take hours so I deleted all of our files and uninstalled our software so we can start fresh. I am setting up a new site and have submitted a request to Google to reevaluate our site and remove the warning. This could take 24 hours or more. I'll let you all know when its finished.


No credit card or bank account info from our growers was lost as we do not store it on the site. All that info is handled and protected by Paypal and their site.


Going forward I have purchased and setup some security monitoring software that will help keep us in good standing with the search engines. A $5 charge from our paypal account and approx. $30 on our new bank card through godaddy.
