Welcome to Cherry Ridge Farms!

Welcome! So glad you are visiting our farm today through our Website.  We have many wonderful programs at Cherry Ridge where we always strive to be true to our mission statement: Enriching Lives-Fulfilling Dreams!  But let me tell you a little about  how we came to be.

Cherry Ridge Farms began in 2003 after my husband Jeff and I  purchased the  adjoining farm which was once owned by my husband's great Uncle Bob and Aunt Jennie Clemons.  In 1914,  the Clemons  purchased their small 46 acre parcel resting on the western  banks of White Oak Creek, Scott Township, Brown County, Ohio. Together they built the  small white cottage which sets on the hill  overlooking  the creek. It  is much like it was then. Uncle Bob "a prolific farmer" became  known as the Watermelon  King because he raised delicious  watermelons,  on  the same  fertile bottom land  where we now grow pumpkins,  corn and hay.   The Clemons  farm butted  up to our family farm that we  built our house on and  was originally purchased by Jeff''s parents Guy and Gerry Mitchell in 1968. The historic place where the two properties join  together is  known as Kimball's Ford Crossing and was home to m many watermelon festivals we learned from the older generation.    People even drove from Cincinnati,  at one time by horse and buggies to the creekside and later  cars. The crossing  became quite the fun place for people for miles around came to fish, be baptized, picnic, hike and enjoy nature.  
Since the new acreage already had the  existing indoor arena and a  stable barn,  built by the previous owners,  we opened for business as Cherry Ridge Stables offering boarding and lessons.Each year we added something new.
Five years later, we have grown to include a Saddle Club,  Therapeutic Riding,  Outdoor Classrooms, Mini Horse Camps  and the ever popular Fall Festival Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze.

Our oldest son Dan moved  back from Texas 3 years ago with his World Pinto Champion  and is our Stable Barn Manager.  Kelly Watson, Batavia, Ohio came as a boarder and   has joined up with us as our Outdoor Classroom Manager  for our spring, summer and fall field trips but  is also referred to  as the Pumpkin Patch  Lady by some kids,  as kids  remember her from their  educational program in the pumpkin patch for our fall field trips. My Dad, Ed Phillips can  be found driving the John Deere tractor for the hay rides and many other family members are involved in one way or another.  

So enjoy your visit here and here's hoping you'll find something of interest that we  might be able to join up together and enrich your life or perhaps fulfill your dream or someone near and dear to your heart,   through our rural farming heritage and horses!

Blessings,

Sherry & Jeff Mitchell,Owners
