Ridgedale Farm
Short description of your place and practices
Ridgedale Farm is taking a pause from being a commercial food producer, but remains a pioneering educational site and is the homestead of Richard Perkins. Richard is excited about facilitating the next generation of entrepreneurial young farmers getting set up profitably on the land through powerful and focused learning experiences.
Here at 59°N in Sweden he teaches Farm Scale Permaculture Design, Regenerative Agriculture, Keyline Design, Agroforestry, Pasture based livestock enterprises, Managing Holistically and No-Dig Market Gardening. Ridgedale was created with the foremost responsibility to regenerate the landscape, ecosystem processes and soils through resilient, replicable, scalable and profitable farm enterprises. The secondary function has been to educate, facilitate, inform and empower people into action through regenerative design, enterprise and holistic decision-making that fosters and stimulates local community, economy and resilience. Whilst commercial production no longer takes place at the farm, Richard still hosts world-class educational trainings here.
