Farmwell began with a simple belief from the Ramstad family: the way we grow food should reflect the way we want to live. By caring for the soil, conserving water, and welcoming pollinators, the farm produces berries that are as good for the land as they are for the people who enjoy them. Every can of Farmwell is rooted in that connection between earth and wellbeing.
Building Health from the Ground Up
In upstate New York, Farmwell’s fields are certified organic. No synthetic fertilizers or pesticides touch the soil. Instead, the farm relies on cover crops like clover to feed nutrients back into the ground and mint to provide natural weed control while attracting pollinators. These choices protect the delicate web of life below the surface, where microbes and minerals strengthen the foundation for every harvest.
The farm practices no-till methods, leaving the soil intact so it can hold moisture and resist erosion. This approach preserves the living structure underground, which in turn produces stronger and more resilient Aronia berry plants.
A Berry That Belongs Here
The Ramstads chose the Aronia berry not because it was trendy, but because it was native. These berries thrive in the climate of upstate New York with little intervention. They need less water and fewer resources than many other crops, making them an ideal match for a farm that values balance with the environment.
Aronia berries are known for their deep purple color and high antioxidant content. Their flavor is bold and not overly sweet, which gives Farmwell drinks a refreshing profile that stands apart from typical fruit beverages.
A Family Grown Vision
Farmwell started as a dream to create something lasting and purposeful. What began as a small farm project has grown into a fully certified organic operation, still guided by the same family values that shaped it from the start. Every decision in the field and every drink they produce reflects a long-term commitment to healthy soil, thriving crops, and a way of farming that respects both people and place.
A Drink with a Deeper Story
Opening a can of Farmwell is represents years of effort to farm responsibly, to put care back into the land, and to grow a crop that naturally fits the place it comes from. The Ramstad family’s goal has always been to create something real and lasting.
In each sip, their vision of farming well and living well continues to grow.
Sip the farm. Live well.
