Farm Tour

Ridgemeade is a working farm which requires that our family use each days sunlight hours productively. As such, despite our gift for gab, we simply can’t chat with everyone that stops by. Check out our farm tour and visit policy below:

  • SELF-GUIDED TOUR: In service of complete transparency, we maintain an open gate policy from 9am - 5pm, Monday through Friday. We kindly ask that for your safety and the safety of our animals, you do not enter any buildings or touch any wire fences (high voltage), animals, or produce. For our policy about working with us for a day, please see our MUDDY BOOTS page.

  • DUSTY PANTS TOUR: Ridgemeade offers two-hour private walking tours of the farm. We welcome anyone interested in learning more about Ridgemeade, including individuals, families, school groups (elementary through post-graduate), homeschool groups, church groups, girl/boy scouts, corporate groups, senior groups, etc. The cost is $300 total per tour (up to 50 people) and prepayment is required to secure the booking. We cannot offer refunds but will happily reschedule due to inclement weather or other unforeseeable event. All guests receive a $10 coupon valid for any Ridgemeade product (*events excluded). Inquire at info@ridgemeadefarm.com

  • “NOT FROM AROUND HERE” TOURS: Offered monthly, these genuine hay wagon tours are limited to the first 30 people to reserve spots. There is a small fee for adults but children 12 and younger are FREE - (children must be accompanied by an adult). For both young and old this meandering driving tour stops at all the different pastured and forested animal locations where various Ridgemeade farmers enlighten our guests to the bucolic beauty and pastoral perfection of the Regenerative way of life. All guests receive a $10 coupon valid for any Ridgemeade product (*excluding events).

For all tours, be sure to arrive 15 minutes prior to start of tour, we will not backtrack for late comers.
