The very air seems to hold a certain stillness, a patient anticipation that settles over the rolling hills as the day draws toward evening. This stretch of Blount County has long been shaped by the land and the labor it demands. For generations, farming has been the bedrock of Prospect's economy, with families raising cattle and crops on the fertile soil.
