Ridge to Reef Farms

Nate and Shelli Bren Olive owners at Ridge to Reef Farms on St.Croix have been growing and producing various crops on the island, but have also introduced innovative business practices to sustain the revenue at their farm. They have a CSA -Community Supported Activity program where customers act like shareholders in a harvest and pre-purchase the basket before it is planted or harvested. They are also a certified organic farm, conduct a six week summer camp and host the Slow Down Dinner.

Their goal is to provide 5% of the local produce, currently 99% of produce is imported.
