Little Ridge Farm
We are a diversified organic farm. We grow veggies on about 5 acres but also have turkeys and pigs during the summer. Most sales are through our CSA but also do some wholesale and have a fledgling summer farmstand. We work closely with community groups to get food to low-income folks and seniors. 2026 will be our 18th summer and we still love what we do! We are a small crew of 3-6 part-time local folks
