Nestled on 38 picturesque acres in Hardwick, Briar Ridge Farm is a historic New England Farmstead established in 1760 by the Ruggles Family. For more than 265 years, this land has been part of Hardwick's agricultural landscape. Today, Chris and Andrea consider themselves not owners, but stewards of the remarkable property, with a responsibility to preserve its history while ensuring it remains productive and healthy for generations to come.

At Briar Ridge Farm, Andrea and Chris raise pasture-raised sheep for premium lamb and breeding stock using rotational grazing practices that improve soil health, strengthen pastures and promote the well-being of their animals.
