Tranquil Ridge Farm is a small, diversified vegetable and small animal farm located on 20 acres of leased land in northeastern Montgomery county, near Crawfordsville. We started our farm 6 years ago, beginning with only pumpkins and melons the first two years on about 5 acres of land. Now, we grow more than 40 different types of vegetables with 300+ varieties.

I was lucky enough to be able to grow up on a highly diversified farm as a kid. My grandfather and dad farmed together while I was growing up; raising cows, pigs, hay, corn, beans, seed corn, wheat, oats and even melons for a short time. I have always remembered how well that farm worked with itself; a sort of closed loop system of plants feeding animals, and animals feeding plants.  It made the decision to be organic farmers a very easy one for us. We know the benefits to all things on our farm when they work in harmony together.  The confidence in knowing that our food is unspoiled or contaminated by synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides or any other “cides” makes our food even more special to us. We have not become a certified organic farm yet, but have plans to do so in the near future. Our best certification has always been an open door to anyone wanting to see what and how we do what we do.
