We are The Ryder Family Farm, 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 hosts public events and 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 aren’t just out to make a buck selling you food, 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 and products right in their community.
