Who We Are
Our Agriculture Journey
Wendell Hanson has deep roots in Liberty Grove, TN, where he grew up assisting his grandfather with egg delivery routes and developing his passion for farming through involvement in 4-H and FFA. As a teenager, he raised cattle, setting the stage for his lifelong commitment to agriculture.
In 2020, we purchased our farm with a singular goal: to produce clean, healthy food for ourselves, driven by the challenge of finding such options locally. Along the way, we discovered a growing community with similar food-sourcing concerns, prompting us to expand our production and offer our meat, poultry, and produce to our neighbors. Since then, we’ve steadily increased our presence in the market and our share within it.
The Prospect Ridge Farms Team
Wendell oversees livestock management and is dedicated to pasture management practices on Prospect Ridge Farm. Rhessa plays a crucial role in managing the business, meat inventory, sales, marketing, customer service, and our presence at farmer’s markets. Together, we also invest time in the garden, planting and harvesting a variety of produce to complement our offerings.
