Matt Hardy owns and operates Rust Hill Ranch, a 40-acre, regenerative livestock farm nestled the St. Croix River valley in east-central MN. Along with his wife and two children, they produce forest-raised pork, grass-fed beef & lamb, and pastured chicken & eggs.



Matt has a background in technology, education, and entrepreneurship. He serves on his local Soil & Water Conservation Distrct board, and is a member of several other agricultural organizations. Matt attributes much of his farm's initial success to skills and relationships formed within SFA's unique farmer-to-farmer network.
