Emmett Ridge is a Project of Passion
The name Emmett means strong, hardworking and industrious leader. At Emmett Ridge Farm that is exactly what we aim to do and be. Our mission is to lead the charge in the direction to a vibrant and sustainable LOCAL food system. In working together we can create nutrient dense, flavorful, integrity filled food while respecting the land and animals entrusted to us.
The farm started in our backyard as chickens and 4 hogs that were the beginning stages of a dream and a calling from God. After the birth of our first child what we put on our plates and in our bodies became more important to us. As we educated ourselves on our food system and how our food was being produced we became more and more convinced that we needed to do something about it.
Six years later Jeremy works full time at the farm. We are living on 132 acres of land and have restored this old golf course it to its original state. We are raising grass fed Scottish Highland cross beef, pasture raised heritage breed pork and pasture raised chicken. We have set up the farm in a sustainable model that works with the land instead of against it. We want to create a vibrant living ecosystem that gives back for generations to come.
