Welcome to Kettlehill Farm
Fresh, Pesticide-Free Produce, Fruit, Flowers & More

Nestled in the heart of Niagara’s countryside, Kettlehill Farm is a small, family-run farm rooted in Ridgeville’s gently rolling hills. We’re proud to be located on the Fonthill Kame—a rare glacial land formation that rises above the Town of Pelham, shielding us from strong southwest winds and creating a unique microclimate. In the kettle-shaped hollows left behind by melting glaciers, we’ve found the perfect conditions for growing vibrant, healthy food. Hence our name: Kettlehill Farm.

We specialize in lovingly grown, pesticide-free produce, seasonal fruits, and beautiful blooms—harvested by hand and nurtured by heart. Our care for the land, commitment to sustainability, and personal connection with our community are what truly set us apart.

Our Story
Rooted in Family, Grown with Love

For over a decade, Vic and Miriam Ratzlaff have cultivated this land as VictorsFarmShares, with a deep focus on Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and a mission to nourish both soil and community.

Today, we’re thrilled to share that the farm is growing in more ways than one. Our daughter Charis, her husband Ryan, and their three children have joined us, bringing fresh energy, creativity, and a shared love for farm life. With this new chapter comes a new name: Kettlehill Farm.

This is a place of muddy boots, busy hands, wide-eyed wonder, and deep-rooted joy. It's a place where generations work side by side—and where everything we grow is a labour of love. We’re so excited to share the fruits (and vegetables, and flowers!) of that love with you.

Our Mission
From Our Family to Your Table

Our mission is simple: to grow and make available to you, our local community,  fresh, nutrient-dense, pesticide-free food and flowers that nourish both body and soul. 

Everything we produce is grown with care for and respect of the environment. Using farming practices that are kind to the earth, we aim to ensure Kettlehill Farm thrives for generations to come—so we can keep growing goodness for you and your family, season after season.
