RAPHA RIDGE FARM
About Us
Thanks for checking out our website! We are a family of eight running a small hobby farm located in the Niagara Area. For many years, our family has tried to grow as much of our own food as possible. Eventually we were blessed to be able to extend our operations to provide others with quality, locally grown food. Through natural and alternative farming methods, such as rotational pasture and locally grown organic feed, we provide you with food that has been grown/raised as naturally as possible, full of nutrients and fresh from the farm.

Why Rapha Ridge? Rapha is one of the names for God found in the Old Testament - Jehovah Rapha. Rapha is a Hebrew word that means 'healing'. God told Moses, "I am the Lord who heals you." (Exodus 15:6) This Hebrew word, Rapha, is a powerful word - not only does it mean 'to heal' in the sense of disease, but it also means 'to completely repair and restore'. While we believe God has given us the opportunity to grow and use good food to heal our bodies, we believe that Jehovah Rapha is the ultimate healer, and He is able to heal us body, mind and spirit when we align our lives toward Him and His word. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
For us, farming is a lifestyle that brings much laughter, hard work, problems to solve, precious moments, and both challenging and fun times together as a family. Our prayer is that we are able to share the abundance with which we have been blessed and to be an encouragement and a blessing to each person we meet. We hope that you enjoy our products as much as we have enjoyed growing them!
