Grow wild. Live well.
Simple living with heart, grit, and intention
A feral path forward.
Our journey began on a cozy 1-acre homestead, where we learned to grow food, make herbal remedies, and build community from the ground up. You may have known us then as Handmade on the Homestead.
Now, we’re writing a new chapter as Feral Ridge Ranch, our beautiful farmstead along the Meherrin River. We're still grounded in handmade tradition, but now with deeper roots, wilder land, and a broader vision.
Our Vision
At Feral Ridge Ranch, we imagine a community where growing food, caring for the land, and learning traditional skills is accessible to everyone. A place where connection, curiosity, and hands-on experience empower people to steward both their gardens and their communities, while regenerative practices restore the land for generations to come.
Our Mission
Feral Ridge Ranch is more than a farm, it’s a place to learn, explore, and grow together. We cultivate healthy soil, raise wholesome food, and share practical skills through workshops, community events, and hands-on experiences. By centering women and BIPOC leadership, we create accessible education opportunities that inspire confidence, build food sovereignty, and strengthen connections between people and the land.
We’re growing more than plants.
At Feral Ridge Ranch, we’re cultivating connection, healing, and hands-on learning through:
Herbal and homesteading workshops — sharing seasonal skills rooted in tradition and sustainability
Small-batch apothecary goods — handcrafted soaps, salves, teas, and more, made with care from the land
Intentional gatherings — retreats and workshops that foster reflection, creativity, and reconnection with nature
