About Us
We started Oak Hill Farms with the desire to share with our community the love and passion we have for our family and nature.
As busy parents with high-stress level jobs, commuting, and some health scares, we felt that we were continuously searching for a simpler lifestyle.
After we had our third daughter, we knew it was time to make a change. Rich always had a strong passion for farming, so we spent endless hours researching how we could start one of our own. We started growing our garden, raising farm animals, and making natural products with the ingredients we got from the “backyard farm” we created. We started selling our creations online and at local markets, and after connecting with our customers, we realized many had the same craving we had: “living life more intentionally and back to basics.”
The passion for what we did gave us the courage and strength to grow our business as we worked parallel full-time jobs. The search for the perfect location to be able to bring this farm experience to everyone started, and we bought our farm in Holmdel, New Jersey.
In August 2020, in the middle of a pandemic, we opened our doors to the public with hopes to inspire people to live life to the fullest and to find beauty in “the everyday life.”
Since that moment, we have felt the love and support from all of you, and it is our mission to return that love by providing the best quality, hand-crafted and natural products that are healthy and safe for you.
If you are visiting our farm, we hope we can provide you with a memorable experience that will leave you wanting to come back for more before you even go, and regardless of how you choose to support Oak Hill Farms, we hope it puts a smile on your day.
Thank you for joining our journey, and welcome to our family.
