But after meeting her now husband Scott, she fell in love with his family's farm and decided to build a life in Janesville.

Treasurer When Andrea says that farming is in her blood, she has four generations
behind her inspiring change. Growing her business in the same soil where she
grew up playing, Andrea and her husband Hugo have planted roots in
Manhattan, KS. A & H Farm has grown over the past 12
years, going from 4 weekends a year pumpkin patch to a full year retail
store and more! Andrea joined NAFDMA years ago, and has been an active
community member focusing on not only sharing knowledge gained and
applying knowledge learned, but developing welcoming and lifelong
relationships in the Agritourism community. She currently sits as the
president of her local farmers market, as well as many community-centric
programs focusing on hunger and youth. Growth and passion are two words
often accredited to the farm, and Andrea herself. The operation equally
balances both commercial farming and agritourism, but spread equally
over almost 300 acres, and a handful of dedicated employees. |
