The online publication Onion Business has a great feature on Stefan Matheny, River Point Farm’s director of sales.
The 33-year-old graduated from Heppner High School in 2002 and earned his bachelor of arts degree in international business from Linfield College in 2006.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
“My first job in the onion industry came shortly after graduating from college when I took a position with American Onion in Hermiston as the fresh pack plant manager,” he said. “At that time American Onion was solely a grower/packer of fresh, whole skin-on onions.”
Things moved rapidly in his career, and he explained, “About three months after I started, American Onion merged with Rivergate Farms which was a fresh-cut onion operation on the other side of town. The two companies rolled together, and we became River Point Farms in June 2007.”
