LEXINGTON — For the past 55 years, Hap and Loretta Naprstek have invested plenty of sweat equity into building up the Hilltop Ranch northeast of Lexington. Starting with just 12.5 acres in 1971 and a handful of cattle, they have now bought most of the surrounding pastureland and built a cow-calf herd of 400.
Hap and Loretta Naprstek and their family were honored Friday night by the Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce as the 2025 Farm Family of the Year during the chamber’s annual banquet.
