Native Offerings Farm

A Special Note from the farmers…

We, Stew and Deb Ritchie, the farmers of Native Offerings Farm, had many long discussions about 2025 growing season. We decided that we will be moving to a Farmers’ Market model for selling our ecologically grown crops. That said, we are taking a break from our long standing CSA. We have found it to be increasingly challenging to get all the crops in for this large endeavor. The CSA is very close to our hearts and we worked hard to make it a success every year since 1997. This change has been coming and we hope it will be a positive one! We are courageously facing this new, different chapter and still take pride in quality vegetable production using organic methods while serving our local communities.

Local organic/regenerative/sustainable agriculture is still incredibly important and we hope that you will continue to support it and seek us out! We’re still farming and you’ll still be able to find our ecologically grown vegetables and garden ready transplants at our farmers’ markets! AND…don’t forget that we still raise grass-fed, grass-finished beef.

PROVIDING HEALTHY FOOD FOR THE BUFFALO AREA SINCE 1997

Vegetables

Always fresh and in season, we grow a great selection of vegetables! We start selling at the farmers’ markets in May all the way through November.

Beef Share

We buy our feeder cattle from a neighbor who knows what kind of animals we want. They are brucellosis-free and healthy when they arrive on our farm. Pastured on a diverse mix of pasture grasses, there are no antibiotics, hormones, or animal by-products in their feed. Raised completely on grass, our beef has a deliciously rich beef flavor.
