Summary
Full time student and Agriculture worker. I have been working in the sweet potatoes since I was 14 years old. My family, including myself started with 7 acres back in 2014. From there every year we kept investing back into the business. We now have 220 acres of sweet potatoes and our own packing line where we sort/pack/ship out sweet potatoes to Los Angeles, Canada, New York and many more states. We have our own label now and I am also one of the sales managers.
