 Ridgeway Farm is a family run dairy farm, located on Peel Road, in-between Junction 4 of the Blackpool M55 motorway and Lytham. We are the seventh generation to farm at Ridgeway and as such the farm is steeped in historical flora and fauna. With so much heritage intertwined from the original brick buildings to dairy genetics dating back over 50 years and of course not forgetting the farms very own priority habitat, in the form of a traditional orchard. In 2019 we decided to open the farm to visitors at certain times of the year to allow everyone the opportunity to see a real life working farm, right here on the Fylde Coast and the chance to meet the farmers too. |
