Huge congratulations to Riley Creek Farms for a remarkable run of recent awards:
- 2025 Farm of Distinction – First South Farm Credit
- 2025 Conservation Farmer of the Year – Dale County Soil & Water Conservation District
- CEAg World Visionary Grower Winner
As the first farm to transition through Animal Outlook’s Farm Transitions Program, Riley Creek has become a beacon for agricultural transformation. What started as a leap of faith has become a model for the future of farming that is plant-powered, sustainable, and thriving.
Bill Ferguson and his family didn’t just change what they grow—they changed the conversation about what’s possible. They’ve shown other farmers that transition means opportunity, innovation, and community support.
To every farmer watching and wondering if transition is right for them: Riley Creek’s success is your invitation. Our Farm Transitions team stands ready to support your journey with resources, expertise, and the kind of partnership that turns bold decisions into lasting legacies.
In loving memory of Bill.
