We are getting closer and closer!!
Announcing our 2022 dates for the Vienna Farmers Market NY season.
Another great batch of soap. Will be ready to use in a couple months, just in time for the Farmers Markets!
Coming to the Vienna Farmers Market tomorrow. Come early and get fresh farm radishes.
Cranberry Ridge Farm is expanding this year. We are excited that our new garlic crop is up and growing like crazy! We also began last fall planting some medicinal herbs and will continue expanding those plantings, with the possibility in the future of selling medicinal herbs.
Our biggest advancement this year is the opening of our new Apothecary. We will be working on building the Apothecary this summer. (We will be operating virtually, and at the Vienna Farmers Market and by individual arrangement, until it is built.) The Apothecary will be a place on the farm for herbal consultations, for herb classes and for purchasing herbs and herbal products. It will also give us more room for producing our products and provide a place in the future for our rural skills classes that we are planning to start offering here on the farm.
We have been studying and using herbs to help us maintain and improve the health of our family and animals since the 1990’s. Rhonda has been collecting herb books since the 90’s, reading them and putting the knowledge into practice. Rhonda has gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and practice studying on her own. Matt loves to learn also, and has spent many years learning about wild edible and medicinal plants as well, but is more easily distracted, so in the early 2000’s Matt decided to take his first formal herb course. He has been playing with the idea of starting a clinical herbal practice ever since. Last year he finally took the plunge and joined a course to continue his studies and has completed the requirements and is now a certified clinical herbalist. Cranberry Ridge Farm is excited to announce that we will begin this spring/summer scheduling clients.
We are working to maintain the comfort and safety of each client and so will be offering consultations either online or in person in a safe manner. We are thrilled to be able to share the value and efficacy of plants in maintaining and supporting our health, with our community!
We are looking for 3-5 people who would be willing to go through the consultation process at a discounted rate to help us fine tune our intake and consultation process.
Thank you for all the support each of you have given to Cranberry Ridge Farm over the years! We deeply appreciate each and every one of you!
IF you are interested in more info please PM us or email us at [email protected] and we will get back with you just as soon as we can.
Thanks to Hadassah we have an artist’s rendition of what the Apothecary will look like!
The garlic has pushed through the mulch!
Just 3 months to scapes and another month or so after that to harvest!😁
Spring is definitely sprung on the farm. Three species of eggs, Turkey, chicken and duck.
Some nice udders, so milk and fresh cheese are in our future! Not to mention Kiefer!
The grass was starting to grow today, and I have potted black currents to plant, and if I am going to get some elderberry cuttings I had better get to it before they break dormancy!!!
The rush is on!!!
The garlic is starting to push up. The black cohosh and Solomon’s seal have not showed their heads yet but I’m sure they won’t be long in doing so!!
Just thought for fun I would repost this picture of our pack goat Circa 2008 in Archangel valley AK. This is the stream also that we spread my little brothers ashes. Up on a low ridge half way up to the saddle to the left and above the stream is where I proposed to Rhonda ten years earlier.
Here is one of my most favorite goat pictures. It is obviously not from NY! This is one of our pack goats Midnight by name he was tired of crossing the COLD water and figured he could just fly over it instead.........and he made it!
All that beautiful goodness produced right here on the farm just waiting to go on the garden and fields to grow all those lovely veggies, berries and more..... and we are harvesting sunshine as we work on a beautiful sunshiny day!!!!
Coming to the Vienna Farmers Market this coming summer! GF Cherry Danish.

The snow is deep here on the farm and it’s cold! But there is new life under all that snow!
The garlic is sending down roots and the other medicinal herbs we planted are as well, just waiting for spring so they can burst into life!
Benjamin’s axe repair yesterday while I was nursing a migraine!
A nice handle cut from a piece of firewood ( curly maple)
If anyone has a favorite old axe or knife that needs a new handle or needs some love for a new lease on life contact us.
We are planning to be there again this year. A great little market. In fact we are having two booths this summer. Wondering what the second might be ? Keep looking and there will be clues as we pull this together!
Please be sure and share with your friends. It is shaping up to be a full market this year, but there is always room for one more.

I finally got around to getting my farm plan onto a rough map of the property.
Its a poor picture but its my rough draft for the plan. All the small little unlabeled parcels are approx. 1/4 acre coppice where we will each year cut almost all the trees for fire wood and poles etc. for projects on the farm. We will choose several nurse trees to leave standing then we will replant a number of species of fast growing trees, as well as leaving the stumps of the trees cut, to regrow. having an established root system of the large tree the plan is theses stumps will send up new shoots that will actually grow very quickly. In this plan I have 21 coppice sections so that would give us 21 years of regrowth. Several species will have fire wood size growth within 12-16 years. we will also be utilizing the coppices for vary controlled grazing, medicinal plant growing, poultry grazing, food plant growing, as well as carefully harvesting tree hay for our goats. The remaining land will be pasture, forage crop land, vegetable gardens and medicinal plant gardens.
My goal is to demonstrate the capacity of even a small 10 acre property in a cold climate can provide all the fuel for heating and possibly cooking, as well as 80% of the food for a family of 7. Its a very high goal! but I think it can be done. I choose 80% of our food production for two reasons. one: that we like fruits and food
that are often not grown in our climate so we will likely always buy those foods. Two: in a serious crisis we could reduce our consumption of food by likely 25% and still remain healthy, meaning we would actually be able to survive 100% on the food we produce.......it would be a little boring maybe, but we could survive!
we are still clearing land and cleaning up the mess left by the previous owners but we are excited about the journey!
hope you all enjoy following our progress and my infrequent posts......... I really am trying to post more consistently!
