Hill Ridge Farms is a 55 acre recreational farm located 20 miles north of Raleigh in Youngsville, North Carolina. The farm was founded in 1968 by Youngsville native John Hill. The various attractions on the farm keep it open three seasons a year, and the Event Center is open year round.

Since its humble beginnings as a pick-your-own produce operation, Hill Ridge Farms has grown and seen many changes, including the addition of the Farm Animal Corral, Playland, Fish Feeding Dock, Giant 80' Slide, Maze for small children, Swings, Small Slides, Moon Bounce, Large Sand Box, Picnic Areas, Gem Stone Panning, and "Big John" a 16-gauge 100 passenger Train that is the first of its kind in Franklin County.

New for the Fall of 2007 a Large Fort and Indian Teepee.

Today more than 50,000 people visit us during the month of October for covered wagon hay rides, pumpkins, and picnic gatherings. Some come to remember what it used to be like to enjoy old-fashioned country style fun, and others come to give their children a taste of their heritage in a clean, safe atmosphere close to home.

What about the future? John Hill says, "Walt Disney once said he could never complete his dream because his dream kept expanding. It's the same here." What would you like to see next at Hill Ridge Farms? Feel free to leave a note in the Guest Book and let us know!
