On the menu: MATT’S FAMOUS BIRRIA made with goat raised on sight by Headwaters Grazing and prepared by Matt Anderson, plus quesabirria tacos and other sides and accompaniments by Caroline Radice and crew! Vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options available.
Directions: Ridgewood Ranch is located at 16200 N Highway 101 in Willits (GPS will get you there). Turn off highway 101 at mile marker 39.4, where you will see signs for Ridgewood Ranch and Golden Rule RV park. Start winding down the driveway and take your first RIGHT over a cattle guard. At the bottom of this hill, go straight after the stop sign, and then turn right into the large parking lot (La Vida Charter School is on one side of this lot). The dining hall is the largest building you’ll see – anyone can point you in the right direction!

A Community-Powered Success!
Good Farm Fund’s 10th Anniversary Farm-Raiser
We are thrilled to share that our 10th Anniversary Farm-Raiser raised $50,000 — but the true impact goes far beyond this dollar amount.
This was a community-powered celebration where chefs connected directly with the farmers who grew their ingredients, and eaters built meaningful connections with the food producers who nourish us. More than 200 people attended, and together we celebrated the resilience, generosity, and creativity of the Mendo/Lake food system.
The food was nothing short of superb, our incredible volunteers absolutely nailed it, and the spirit of food justice was alive in every detail. So many good connections were made, and the ripple effects will continue to be felt for years.
Thank you to everyone who made this milestone event possible — we truly couldn’t have done it without you.
