Rittenhouse Farms

Rittenhouse Farms Licensed cottage micro-farm offering vegetables, herbs, breads, cakes, cookies, and delicious canned goods all made with our home grown ingredients!

Support your local small farmers with cute stands, chickens and German Shepherds! ;) Our homestead, Rittenhouse Farms, is dedicated to using our free time and effort to further agriculture- simply because it’s our passion. We plant flowers and native milkweed to encourage endangered honeybees and butterflies to our property (and have hatched our own butterflies), strive for a more self-sufficient

lifestyle that includes growing and preserving our own food, practice sustainable agriculture, raise chickens for free-range eggs, and grow fruit and nut trees as well! In late summer, we harvest seeds to grow in late winter for our gardens. Plant starts are offered for sale, along with fresh fruit, nuts, and vegetables when in season at our farmstand (along with many other homemade goodies produced from the bounty of our homestead). Thank you for your support!

No need to pretend you're Lewis & Clark and paddle up the mighty Sangamon to get here this weekend, friends! All roads are open! And just in time! I had several people tell me they were disappointed the rhubarb sugar loaf made with buttermilk and my own homegrown rhubarb sold out so quickly last Saturday (sorry, but not sorry) 🤣 so just for anyone who might have missed out...I doubled the batch for tomorrow! But don't you dilly dally around all morning and then blame me if you miss out! 🤣

New on the stand for tomorrow...LIMEADE Concentrate! I know some of you country folk like to mix my concentrates with your adult beverages (I hold no judgement) 🤣so you better come and get you some! Personally, I think it's better than the lemon, but I don't want to run down one of my best sellers! 🤣 I'll also have tomato jam! Delicious on meat loaf, pork chops, hamburgers, cornbread and your fingers!

As far as breads, I'm all about using the available summer fruit that's abundant this time of year! So I'll have strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry lemon sugar loaves! I KNOW!! 🤣

Oh yeah...and since we are a farm...I'll have vegetables too! Make sure you come out to the country tomorrow only, Saturday, August 22nd from 10a-4p. ❤

I can't let a little rain, falling timber, thunder, flooding, and threats of total destruction slow me down, friends...I've got PRODUCE that's ready!

I'll have red, ripe tomatoes, green tomatoes, cucumbers, and just picked this evening green beans! Along with your favorite canned goods, tea & lemonades, I'll be serving up some summer, southern favorites like rhubarb sugar loaf made with buttermilk and my own homegrown rhubarb, green tomato, walnut, and chocolate chip cake, and apple zucchini bread!

The gardens are producing now friends, and we have been busy bees processing the harvest! New to the stand this week...It's A Real BIG Deal Dill Pickles, Granny's Own Cucumbers & Onions, Peter Piper's Pickled Peppers, Dill Pickle Relish, and my favorite...Hot & Sweet Pineapple & Jalapenos! To be honest, I'll probably have some forks on the stand because you'll want to eat them right out of the jar on the way home because they are THAT GOOD! Freshly picked and processed. No artificial colors, preservatives, or additives. It's all country my friends!🤣 Picture of daughter-in-law's homemade pizza with Rittenhouse Farms Pineapple & Jalapenos on top for added effect! Thank you Amy Rittenhouse 😁

Open Saturday only
July 18 10a-5p
(HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY to my granddaughter, Macie Manuel)!!
She'll be drinking the juice out of my canned goods now that she's legal! 🤣
