Employee Spotlight: Hannah Van Sickle Hannah Van Sickle started with Prairie Harvest in 2003. As one of our most seasoned staff members, she is extremely flexible, able to handle most tasks around the store. Hannah works at Prairie Harvest because she likes the environment and the other people who work here? Does that mean she likes her mom who just happens to be an owner!? She's also an advocate of small business and the alternative foods offered here. Her favorite item? The drinks in our deli and the organic fruit. When not working here, Hannah is a student at Cottey College in Nevada, Missouri. On her summer break she has also studied anatomy and physiology, and relaxed by taking in movies and hanging out with friends.
