Producer

River Ridge is a four season fruit, vegetable, and cut flower farm in Portland, CT. We use no-till, regenerative practices on all acres to produce the very best quality products. We grow over 200 varietals of fruits, vegetables, and flowers every year, and love trying new things! Our mission is to build the health of our soils, bolster the resiliency of our community, and share the joy of eating seasonally.

At River Ridge Farm, our commitment to sustainable farming is rooted in our no-till practices, which allow us to work in harmony with the land. By combining no-till farming with compost and cover crops, we build resilient topsoil capable of sequestering carbon, resisting erosion, and withstanding extreme weather. Our soil is a living, breathing material—populated by mycorrhizal networks, roots, and diverse organisms that support the growth of nutrient-dense foods. These practices help us sustain our land’s health and productivity for generations to come.

Although we have always managed our farm in compliance with the USDA national organic standards, regulation requires three years of organic land care prior to certification. We are eligible for USDA Organic certification this Winter (2025/2026). We are currently part of the TOP Program and anticipate receiving our certification in the next few months!
