Homegrown.
Revival Ridge Farm, nestled in southern Red River Gorge, is a small scale vegetable farm focused on regenerative agriculture, organic principles, land stewardship, and building our local food economy.
RRF is run by a first generation lady farmer who is committed to high quality, locally grown produce. We grow over 50 varieties of produce conducive to our climate, and also provide flowers, herbs, eggs, honey, and mushrooms.
Meet your farmer.
Hi, I’m Em! Farmer, climber, dog mom, outdoor enthusiast.
I studied environmental earth science and sustainability at Miami University. During college summers, I started working on farms to spend the days outside and make some money. I instantly fell in love. Since then I have worked on farms in Ohio, North Carolina, and now in Kentucky.
My greatest joy is found in growing good food with the help of Mother Nature, and sharing it with kind humans. If you see me at market or around the Gorge, please say hi! I’d love to geek out with you about farm or nature things (and definitely pet your dog).
From me, to you, with love.
NAMESAKE | Our property is located on Tar Ridge Road, a gorgeous ridge line filled with magical forest, bedrock streams, waterfalls, and dreamy old barns. The field where we grow was likely a Tobacco field until the 80’s and hayed ever since. Moving to eastern Kentucky and starting my garden, was in many ways, a personal revival. My love for the land and growing things was renewed and restored at such a deep level. I’ve always felt called to be a farmer, but here it finally felt right. Additionally, I like to think my small farm is a piece of a larger revival movement. Of people returning to the land, knowing their farmer, investing in their community, and living intentionally and purposefully. And Lastly, a revival for my small piece of garden. Calling back the birds and the bugs and biological diversity- encouraging the life and health of the small ecosystem I’m thankful to be a member of. So, welcome to Revival Ridge Farm.
