ABOUT INDIGO RIDGE FARM
Our dream of owning our own farm began in 2019 with some talk of open spaces and small town living. After looking around Utah and not finding the right landing spot, we stumbled upon beautiful Emmett, Idaho. We fell in love with Emmett's charm, strong agricultural history, and kind folks.
​
There was literally NOTHING here when we first arrived. Over the years we've built two houses, a barn, a chicken coop, a hangar workshop, and more. We've cultivated acres of trees, gardens, grass, and premium orchard grass hay fields.
