Native Offerings Farm

A Special Note from the farmers…

We’re glad you are here! 2026 marks a new chapter for us! We’ve put in about 30 years of organic growing and sowing and now it’s time for a sabbatical (or at least a farmers view of a sabbatical!).

We’re going to open a brick and mortar in Ellicottvile.

The Elmwood Bidwell farmers Market and East Aurora Farmers markets have agreed to give us a year “pass” so we can focus our attention on our new project. Many of you may already know that we are Licensed NYS Adult Use Canna growers. Our new company Rural Resurgence LLC already has brands in dispensaries now. If you consume canna, you may know us as B-Side and Turpedoes. Our canna is grown with the same time tested organic/ecological methods that we have been honing for years. We still treat our land with the same care and attention that we have given it since we moved here in 2002.

So, is this really a sabbatical then??…. Well, maybe we should call it a new venture but it does feel different regardless.

Our new shop, the EVL Farm shop is expected to open later this spring. The shop will be a dispensary primarily but we are looking to stock a wide gamut of items on the shelves that are from our farm (including our veggies and garden ready transplants), hemp products, and products from our network of local producers.

We’ll post an update once we have an opening date and would love to have you stop in to say hello when you’re in town. AND…don’t forget that we still raise grass-fed, grass-finished beef. You can reach out to us directly if you are interested in quarters or halves of beef.
Till then,
Deb and Stew Ritchie

Vegetables

Always fresh and in season, we grow a great selection of vegetables! Look for our ecologically, home grown veggies in our farm shop: The EVL Farm Shop, 11 Martha ST. Ellicottville, NY. Opening soon!

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.
