Our Promise
We believe that healthy food begins with healthy soil. Every decision we make—from how we manage our pastures to how we care for our plants and animals—is guided by a commitment to sustainability, animal welfare, and producing food we're proud to serve our own family. When you choose Rivercrest Farm, you're supporting more than a local farm. You're supporting regenerative agriculture, humane animal care, local food systems, and a family committed to producing food with integrity. From our pastures to your table, we are dedicated to raising and selling nutrient-dense, natural, Kentucky products for a better lifestyle.
Farming With Purpose
Our regenerative approach focuses on working with nature instead of against it. Through rotational grazing, healthy pastures, and thoughtful land management, we build healthier soils, improve wildlife habitat, protect water resources, and reduce the need for unnecessary inputs. Healthy land produces healthy animals—and healthier food. Our cattle graze lush Kentucky pastures, while our chickens spend their days outdoors foraging on fresh grass, insects, and natural vegetation. We never use added growth hormones, steroids, or routine antibiotics, allowing our animals to grow naturally in low-stress environments. We believe animals should be raised with respect and their well-being isn't just good farming—it's essential to producing exceptional food.
Quality Over Quantity
Rivercrest Farm isn't a large commercial operation. We are a small family farm that intentionally raises a limited number of animals each year so we can focus on quality rather than volume. From breeding and nutrition to pasture management and processing, every step is carefully managed to ensure consistently flavorful, premium beef, chicken, and eggs. Because our products are raised, finished, and processed close to home, they travel fewer miles, support Kentucky agriculture, and have a smaller environmental footprint than many conventionally produced foods.
Caldwell Willig
After a career of investing in and running a number of small businesses in the Louisville community, primarily with a focus on voice and data communications, Caldwell left the business world in 2006 to focus his full attention on raising beef cattle, broiler chickens, and laying hens at Rivercrest Farm. With a focus on regenerative farming Rivercrest Farm does not use any antibiotics or steroids in the care and feeding of our livestock. We grow and harvest our own hay which gives us full control of aour source of feed and nutrition for our cows and calves. All additional purchased feed sources are provided from other organic or non-GMO sourced suppliers. Caldwell is a graduate of the Master Cattlemen, the Humane Care and Treatment of Livestock, and the Beef Quality Assurance programs sponsored and provided by the University of Kentucky School of Agriculture and the County Extension Service.
Ann Lawson Willig
After years of working in events in New York City, Ann Lawson returned home to Rivercrest in 2020 with the goal of helping her father manage the farm. She’s currently enrolled in the Master Gardener certification course being offered through the Oldham County extension office with the hopes of bringing more produce to the Farm Market.
