About us

As a progressive community rooted in an agricultural past we have a duty to honor and engage with our local farms and farmers as well as protect the environment which allows us to grow locally.

Our Mission at RFM is to be the catalyst that cultivates relationships between local growers and makers within our community. We hope to educate and actively involve Ridgefielders in supporting local agriculture and  environmental initiatives.

Our vibrant town of 25,000 friendly locals has an energetic Main Street and is flanked by 2 fully operating farms where eating local means just heading over to Lounsbury Rd to visit the Hickories or Ridgebury to shop at Henny Penny.

How lucky are we?

Our passionate team is open the market for a second year, with a prime location, a stellar list of vendors, and lots of grit and heart, this year promises to lots of fun!

Our team is small but growing: Join the team!
