What is Fox Ridge Farm?.

Fox Ridge Farm is a diversified agricultural farm on the campus of Ashley Ridge High School.  The Farm is run by the students in the Ashley Ridge Agriculture program and the Ashley Ridge FFA.  We offer opportunities in Horticulture, Animal Science and Natural Resource Management.  Products that we produce are sold through the school and this site with 100% of the proceeds going to support the farm and all of its goals.

Established in 2017

Fox Ridge Farm came to full form in the spring of 2017.  Originally a Horticulture only agriculture program, the program has expanded to cover more area and a more diverse area of study.  The agriculture program now has 3 main pathways and all pathways utilize the 10 acre on-campus Fox Ridge Farm as a lab space.

Our Goal

The Goal of Fox Ridge Farm is to introduce, foster and sustain life long learning in the area of agriculture for all ages!  Our largest focus is on the students of Ashley Ridge High School, but we also offer educational opportunities for students from Kindergarten on up and all adults post-high school.
