We are the Daniels family of Garden Ridge Ranch — trusted farmers in southwest Wisconsin raising pasture-raised pork, grass-fed beef, and organic strawberries so you can feed your family with confidence.
Meet the Us-
We are farmers, parents, homeschoolers, and stewards of Garden Ridge Ranch.
This farm isn’t just our business.
It’s our way of life.
Every animal, every berry, every box we ship is raised and packed by our family — together.
Here’s a little glimpse into who we are and how we each play a role to get you your delicious food on your table.
Justin — Farmer, Builder, Big Picture Guy
Justin grew up on a dairy farm and has been working with livestock his entire life. He manages our cattle, pigs, food plots, equipment, and land. If something needs to be built, fixed, welded, or figured out — he’s your guy.
He’s the backbone of this operation. This farm wouldn’t exist without him.
Justin loves hunting and fishing and believes good land stewardship is a responsibility, not a trend.
Darci — Farmer, Mom, Food Maker, Connector
Darci runs the strawberries, markets, subscriptions, customer care, and farm stays.
She’s the one answering your emails, packing your boxes, and making sure everything leaving this farm is something she’s proud to feed her own family.
She believes good, nourishing food changes lives — and that when a woman has a trusted source for her family’s food, it frees her to focus on everything else she’s building.
Weston — Pig Manager & Lawn Crew
Weston is in charge of feeding and caring for the pigs every day (under supervision) and mows all the lawns on the farm.
He knows each pig by personality and takes his job very seriously.
You’ll see Weston around the farm in his cowboy hat, baseball shades, and multitool belt, driving the UTV or skid-loader. He loves coming to farmers markets — especially if he gets to help Mom on his own.
His favorite sport is football and he’s convinced he’s headed to the Green Bay Packers someday.
Sadie — Horses, Chickens & Lawn Crew
Sadie got her first pony this year and proudly manages his care. She keeps us busy with horse events and is always ready to jump in on any farm job.
Last year she managed our meat chickens (for our family), and did such a great job she may expand in the future.
She plays softball, rides horses, and can usually be found in boot-cut work jeans, a t-shirt, and ready to power through whatever project is in front of her.
Hazel — Right-Hand Helper
Hazel is always by Mom’s side, ready to help with anything — especially cooking, jam making, and family meals.
She’s thoughtful in all she does, working hard to keep up with her older siblings while making sure her baby sister is always included.
Nellie Jo — The Youngest
Nellie Jo is three and already the bravest and strongest little farm girl you’ll ever meet.
She goes wherever Mom goes (except farmers markets) and can usually be found in something bright, sparkly, or a tutu.
This is how we raise our kids.
This is how we run our farm.
This is how your food is grown.
You can stop searching-you’ve found your farmers.
Our Farm Standards
At Garden Ridge Ranch, we believe food should be raised with care, intention, and integrity.
We farm the way we feed our own family — without shortcuts.
We farm with a regenerative mindset, focusing on building soil health, protecting water, and caring for this land so it will be healthy for generations to come.
Pasture-Raised Pork
Our pigs are raised outdoors on pasture where they can root, roam, and behave naturally. They are fed a non-GMO diet and cared for daily by our family.
Grass-Fed Beef
Our cattle are raised on a diverse mix of grass and pasture, rotating across our fields in a way that supports animal health and builds soil.
Certified Organic Strawberries
Our strawberries are grown organically with a focus on healthy soil, natural fertility, and clean growing practices.
Our Standard Is Simple
We raise food we are proud to feed our own children — and we’re honored to raise it for yours.
Why We Farm
We farm because it’s in our blood.
All of us were born and raised on farms, and this way of life is part of who we are. We love living on the land, caring for animals, and raising our children here.
We believe farming is one of the most meaningful ways we can serve our family and our community.
We don’t cut corners when it comes to feeding ourselves or our kids. So we raise our own food — and we raise extra for you.
We believe our best work in this world is growing food that truly nourishes people so they can live full, strong, healthy lives. This is how we make a difference.
To us, it’s simple:
Healthy soil creates healthy plants and animals.
Healthy plants and animals create healthy food.
Healthy food creates healthy people.
And healthy people build strong communities.
Every order that leaves our farm is handled by our family. We stand behind our food because we feed it to our own children first.
When you choose Garden Ridge Ranch, you’re choosing a farm that takes responsibility for feeding your family well.
Join Our Farm Family
We believe the best food comes from real relationships.
You’re always welcome to visit our farm, walk the pastures, meet the animals, and see firsthand how your food is raised. Whether you come for a farm tour, a day in the country, or a stay at our retreat house, our gate is always open.
We’re proud of the way we farm, and we’d love to share it with you.
We want to be your farmers.
