AJ Mathews began selling produce at the age of 14 from his parents’ driveway. He says it was just something he loved to do.
Four years later, he leased some land and a greenhouse to start his own business.
“It’s just taking one of my hobbies and trying to make some extra cash with it,” Mathews said.
Mathews Family Farm Market is open Thursday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“We try to offer best produce and best prices to our community. Our whole thing is helping our community out,” Mathews said.
Mathews says he plans on attending Clark State in the fall to pursue a degree in Agricultural Business.
