Farm History
Blue Ledge Farm has a history as rich as our beautiful soil with deep roots that tie to our community here in Garden Valley, CA. Within our farmhouse we touch history daily as one of the original walls to a Gold Rush era mining cabin remains intact and the property is dotted with old mining equipment and outbuildings from an era of Gold Rush fever!
Blue Ledge Farm has had many residents and owners, all of whom have loved, cherished and helped make this special place. Originally the farm was a small gold mining claim from the turn of the century. In the 1930’s the property was first listed in El Dorado County’s Recorder’s Office in 1936. The farm changed ownership a couple of times and was then purchased by Ray and Georgia Little in the early 1970s. Ray and Georgia were childhood sweethearts, meeting at Kelsey Schoolhouse and would remain life-long residents of Garden Valley and owners of Slate Mine. They began major renovations to the Farmhouse in the 1980s that would be carried on by their children, who took ownership of the Farm in a trust. Keith Little (famed musician) and Phyllis Polito (talented artist) would continue to transform the farm and establish the Regenerative Garden and Orchards and were the first to take produce to the People’s Mountain Market as “The Little Farm.” Jeremy and Meghan (current owners) continue to move forward the work or Ray & Georgia, Keith & Phyllis and many others who have moved this place from dreams to reality with hard work, love, devotion, and sustainable, regenerative farming practices.
