A.J. Mathews, owner and operator, will have a grand opening for Mathews Family Farm Market from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 26 at 2604 Springfield-Xenia Road, behind Kerry's Cafe.
"Our journey is rooted in family, local food, and a passion for bringing fresh, homegrown goods to our neighbors," Mathews said.
The "simple summer project" started as a small produce stand in 2021 at the end of his driveway, selling sweet corn and a few vegetables he grew on his farm.
"Over time, the support from the community grew, and so did our dreams. My dream is to go to college for agribusiness to expand my company to support our community," Mathews said, who graduates in May and plans to go to Clark State College.
"We expanded the stand into a full seasonal market, and now we're excited to be moving into a permanent storefront just up the road from the farm."
Although Mathews is the owner, his family, including his parents Logan and Kristin Mathews, play a big role in helping to keep everything running smoothly, such as harvesting, managing the stand or getting the storefront ready.
