Ryder Farm is a long-standing family farm located in Brewster, New York, with roots dating back to 1795. The operation is described as a working farm that has historically contributed to the organic movement in the United States, having adopted organic practices as early as the 1970s. The organization operates on a small scale, with a recent emphasis on creating opportunities for artists through residencies and related programming on site. In addition to its farming activities, Ryder Farm offers a venue for arts and culture, facilitated by SPACE on Ryder Farm, which has hosted artist residencies and summer shows on the 223-year-old property. The farm's activities position it at the intersection of agriculture and the arts within the broader farming industry, highlighting a model that combines sustainable farming with creative residency programs. The location in Brewster situates it in the New York region, and the organization is described as a small enterprise focused on both cultivation and artistic programming. A recent development noted in industry coverage is the 2018 announcement of selected artists for summer residencies and a corresponding summer season lineup, reflecting ongoing activity in its residency and performance programs.
