Ridgedale Farm
A cold-climate regenerative farm proving small can be profitable, even on a short northern season.
At nearly 59° north, Ridgedale Farm is one of Europe’s most influential small-scale regenerative operations. Richard Perkins combines pastured poultry and livestock, no-dig market gardening, Keyline design, and agroforestry into a tightly designed whole — and, notably, turns a profit on a famously short growing season.
Through his book and courses, Ridgedale has become a template for aspiring farmers who want a viable living from a small, regenerative holding rather than scaling up and burning out.
