The Ryder Family Farm

We are a first generation farming family in the heart of The Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois. We are a family operation in the beginning stages of building our diverse farm up from scratch. Our farm sells directly to our customers on the farm, via our online store and at seasonal farm markets. We are diverse and naturally minded family farm that works very hard to produce our offerings in a natural, sustainable way. We are farming to improve the land, our community food economy and the welfare of our local ecosystem while also feeding our family and a few others. We offer a bit of everything so that our customers can secure diverse, farm fresh, locally produced foods, products and experiences right in their community. Additionally, our farm hosts a variety of ticketed events in the spring and fall including events like goat yoga, fairy garden workshops, painting classes and more! Check us out of Facebook for a listing of all our upcoming events.
