Rick Ritter is an Advanced Master Gardener and a Master Naturalist who grows organically and sustainably on approximately 7 acres (depending on the year) for donation to those in need. Our farm recently received the Certified Naturally Grown designation. I have gardened in one form or another since the early 1950's. I grow out heirloom seeds.
I have been blessed with and work toward sustaining those old seeds or plants (veggies, fruit trees and bushes). As a nonprofit organization, one of the blessings we have experienced is the seed and equipment companies around the country that have donated seeds and equipment to our food growing efforts. I have additionally been blessed to have a group of volunteer planters/harvesters who put their back into the tasks of growing food for those in need. The food grown is donated to St Mary's Soup Kitchen and other church food banks and miscellaneous efforts to feed those who are in dire need of nutritious food. This is supported by my greenhouse, the rescue animals that reside here at their forever home and the generosity of a few that share the vision. It is indeed a continuation of the work I did as trauma therapist for 38 years - the work of healing and sharing my abundance with others - peace.
We also work with Wood Farms and other companies that share our vision of supporting those in need, whenever and however we can.
Hours of Operation
We tend the animals and plants on our farm 7 days a week.
