I was born and raised on a farm on the ridge top in the beautiful Driftless region of SW Wisconsin.

I always appreciated the beauty of the area but when I left for college, I didn’t think I’d ever end up living here again.

15 years later, life brought me back. Our family of six planted our roots here with the purchase of our farm outside of Viroqua in 2022.

The diverse community here, the cultural melting pot and the natural beauty is so inspiring.

It feels so good to be HOME.

Hi there! Welcome.

We are the Daniels Family and the owners and operators of Garden Ridge Ranch.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, finding moments to connect with our family, friends and food is a major challenge.

However, one of the most beautiful and rewarding ways to bond with family and especially children is through the magic of the farm and the food grown here.

It’s a canvas for creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

It’s my passion and mission in life to make sure my family and community is fueled with the highest quality food so they can be their best unique selves.

As a farmer, I know that healthy food starts with the soil it’s grown and raised on and that’s why I take care of it from the very beginning.

There is nothing I love more than feeding my family a meal that I’ve had a part in all the way through.

Like the strawberry pie we made to celebrate summer last year. We used lard from our pasture raised pork for the crust. The filling was made from fresh berries we grew and my children picked by hand. It was the most delicious pie we’ve ever eaten and the memory of working together as a family remains well after the pie is gone. When I think of that pie- it takes me back to one of my most favorite summers with my small children.

Food should not only be about filling our bellies, but nourishing our bodies, minds and souls.

I look forward to helping you make memories with your family that you can truly feel good about! I can’t wait to see you out here.

Love,

Darci
