Understanding That The Ideal Way to Cultivate Health and Abundant Life Is To Create It
In the heart of Central Ohio lies Fair Hill Farm, a beacon of hope for those seeking to revolutionize the food systems through regenerative agriculture. Led by the indomitable Judith Farrell Horvath, Fair Hill Farm stands as a testament to the power of resilience, community, and ecological stewardship in the face of modern-day challenges.

Fair Hill Farm’s genesis is rooted in Judith’s personal odyssey—a tale of corporate disillusionment, suburban strife, and the transformative allure of regenerative farming. From her humble beginnings as a corporate executive and keeper of illegal backyard chickens in suburbia, Judith embarked on a journey fueled by conviction and necessity. Witnessing firsthand the fragility of industrialized food systems, Judith made a courageous decision to pivot from boardrooms to barnyards, from spreadsheets to soil.
Fair Hill Farm is at the forefront of the Regenerative Revolution in agriculture, advocating it as a transformative system to elevate small independent farmers, restore soils, and launch local food production.
Fair Hill Farm’s commitment to nurturing interconnected networks of regenerative farms and ranches reflects Judith’s vision of a future where local, sustainable food production serves as a foundation for resilient communities. Big Ag is not just unsustainable—it’s actively eroding people’s health, soils, and the social fabric of rural America. Fair Hill Farm emerges as a bastion of hope, championing a holistic approach to farming that replenishes and nourishes rather than destroys.
Central to Fair Hill Farm’s mission is the empowerment of a new generation of farmers and entrepreneurs. Through workshops, consulting, and public speaking engagements, Judith endeavors to share the stories of success and struggle through her podcast that define the regenerative movement and adjacent entrepreneurism. Fair Hill Farm beckons with offering mentorship, and a roadmap to success.

“We need 100,000 new young farmers starting regenerative farms and earning a living wage. It’s exactly the injection of energy and fresh blood that agriculture needs,” says Judith. Moreover, she explains, “Two-thirds of American farmers are over 60 years old, and only 1.5% of the land in America is being regeneratively farmed. And that needs to change.”
Given this alarming statistic, she eagerly invites the youth to take the leap and take advantage of this huge opportunity to transform food production to turn things around for agriculture. Judith and Fair Hill Farm are calling on the youth to join this meaningful and worthwhile endeavor so they can make a lasting difference through regenerative agriculture, saving soil, stimulating local economies, and stabilizing food supply chains, creating a brighter future.
Fair Hill Farm’s impact extends far beyond the boundaries of its 19-acre homestead. Through enterprises like CapriDerma, Judith ventures into the realm of sustainable personal care products, leveraging surplus goat milk to craft zero-plastic, chemical-free shampoo bars and soaps. This diversification not only embodies Fair Hill Farm’s commitment to resourcefulness and innovation.
