“We are family, I got all my sisters with me,” was famously sung by the four-sister vocal group Sister Sledge in 1979. Keeping their talent all in the family, four of the five Griffin sisters have been bottling pure, natural water sourced from underground limestone springs at the family owned Highbridge Springs Water Co. for the past 36 years.
Located in the Commonwealth’s famed Bluegrass region, the Wilmore, Ky., company’s base of operations is a rural 32-acre limestone quarry. Linda Griffin, president of Highbridge Springs Water, recalls how her father, Bill Griffin, purchased the property in the late 1970s as a mushroom farm, without telling his family about the purchase. Linda is the second youngest daughter of Bill and JoAnn Griffin.
