Andrew Hartshorn grew up in his family's funeral business. After meeting his wife Amy, he fell in love with not only her but the farming lifestyle her family enjoyed. Andrew built his business from the ground up, under the wing of his father-in-law who he affectionately calls Mr. Phillip. A failed rice crop in his fourth year of farming sent the young farmer $60,000 into debt and tempted him to quit. That same experience also propelled his business forward when he picked up 2,000 acres nearby from a farmer who also lost his rice crop but didn't have the guts to stay in the game. The very next year he was able to pay off that debt and has been steadily building his Arkansas farm ever since.
Andrew's story is one of hard work, determination and dilligence.
