Wolfridge Heritage Farm

Farm Info

Wolf Ridge Heritage Farm ... nestled among rich rolling pastures with cool refreshing springs in Southeast Indiana; we are able to trace this homestead's roots back to the early 1700s.

Through the centuries the land changed hands and purpose; but for the past 25 years under the stewardship of Bob Wimberg, the purpose has become one of preserving natural methods of raising honey bees, Icelandic sheep, heirloom or rare poultry, and soon to come Dexter cattle, as well as his favorite breed of dog, the Borzoi.

Bob says "Every spring brings new opportunities to search out and plant new heirloom seeds for the gardens and to find and use natural methods of controlling pests, weeds and building the soil. The chickens especially love to roam the rows of vegetables in search of insects."

The land that makes up Wolf Ridge consists of open fields, rolling pasture and beautiful woods that provide a wonder of wild plants that can be used in the natural raising of all our animals here.

The Natural Way

Bob's chemical free rearing

My commitment is to raise all of the animals here using natural, humane and sustainable methods."

"My commitment is to raise all of the animals here using natural, humane and sustainable methods. All will be free range and in the winter will only be fed hay from our fields. This hay is natural forage which will continue to maintain health throughout the winter.

For those animals that need grain, I have close supplies from farmers that are planting "organic" and/or non-GMO seed.  

In addition, when necessary, only natural products like DE and garlic will be used to treat for parasites should that need arise.

n short, my goal is to stay completely away from the use of any sort of chemicals - beit for internal or external use. This will help to produce healthy long lived animals free of steroids, growth hormones and anti-biotics that cannot then be passed along through the food chain to you, your family and your pets."
