Welcome to Matthews Ridgeview Farms!
Matthews Ridgeview Farms has expanded from a total of 1800 acres to 2200 acres. We grow wheat and soybeans, but the heart and soul of our operation is our sweet potatoes. In 2008, we harvested 800 acres of Beauregard sweet potatoes. For 2009, we are planting 1200 acres of sweet potatoes. Raising sweet potatoes is labor intensive but well worth the effort. Our beauregard sweet potatoes are known for consistency in quality, sweet taste and beautiful texture.
In addition to the farming operation, we also store, wash and ship our sweet potatoes out of our 150,000 square foot warehouse/packhouse facility. The warehouse has enough storage space to store nearly an entire crop of sweet potatoes. Following harvest, we bring our sweet potatoes to the warehouse to be stored in a controlled environment and made available to our customers year round. After an order is placed, the sweet potatoes are moved from the storage area to the packline. The close proximity between storage and packline enables us to process orders quickly and efficiently, thus reducing spoilage and waste.
