The Matthews family has been growing sweet potatoes for over 100 years. Terris Matthews started farming as a fourth generation sweet potato farmer with Matthews Brothers. During his time with Matthews Brothers, he learned how to market our potatoes to local vendors and finally gained a few major distribution centers. Matthews Brothers continued to add acreage to keep up with the demand.
In 2006, Terris, along with his wife Kim, felt it was time to branch out on their own. The family began what is now Matthews Ridgeview Farms, thus the fifth generation is adding a new chapter to an already rich history of sweet potato farming. Terris took his own land and added some additional rental property to create this new enterprise. The farm's total acreage is now approximately 2000 acres. Matthews Ridgeview Farms purchased the former PolyOne building in Wynne, Arkansas in 2007 and began work on converting it into a warehouse/packing facility. The building is approximately 150,000 square feet and provides cold storage for nearly an entire crop of sweet potatoes as well as office space that serves as the farm's headquarters. In 2008, Matthews Ridgeview Farms set out their largest sweet potato crop ever. At 2000 acres of sweet potatoes, Matthews Ridgeview Farms have set themselves apart as the largest grower/packer/shipper in the state of Arkansas.
Matthews Ridgeview Farms is a "family" operation. Terris' business partner and wife, Kim, is an essential part of the operation. Thanks to none other than the sweet potato for bringing these two sweethearts together. Terris was selling sweet potatoes to a company in Tennessee where Kim worked. The two started dating and eventually married.
Terris and Kim are thankful to have Terris' parents, David and Mickie Matthews around lending a helping hand. Their advice and guidance has proven invaluable to the operation.
