Riverbed Ranch is Utah’s 1st & Only Off-Grid, Organic Farming Community
What if you could:
- Have a safe place to raise your kids where they could learn to work and appreciate Nature?
- What if you could escape your dependency on cities for all your life-sustaining needs?
- What if you could grow lots of nutritious, pesticide-free food?
The Riverbed Ranch organic farming community offers all of these, and much more!
Summary:
The Riverbed Ranch organic farming community is for families and individuals that are determined to live a more self-reliant / self-sustaining lifestyle. Most of the 70+ families, who have joined our community so far, joined for one (or more) of these reasons:
- To live a lifestyle independent of mortgage, power, and water bills.
- To live a healthier lifestyle, eating pesticide-free food and breathing clean air.
- For safety, either from things now, or things that may come down the road.
- To create a place where their family can all live, learn and work together.
The Utah OSR Land Cooperative, is a legally-registered non-profit created under Title 3 of the Utah Code by one of the country’s foremost agricultural co-op attorneys.
That co-op has created the Riverbed Ranch — a 250-family, online-but-off-grid, organic farming town located in Utah. Approximately 500 of the 1,245 acres is reserved for agricultural production by “sub-coops” organized by the various co-op’s members. The rest of the property has been laid out in 2 to 3.9 acre parcels for individual farms, roads, parks, and community buildings.
Features:
The non-profit Utah OSR Land Cooperative’s Riverbed Ranch farmsteading community will feature:
- High-speed fiber optic Internet by our partner Beehive Broadband,
- A K-12 school, and other community services (listed below).
- BMX bicycle and Tough Mudder courses for kids to enjoy,
- A greenbelt area running up the middle of the community, including a hiking trail, honeybee-friendly trees and bushes, a road, and maybe someday, a creek.
- An RV and camping park. This way, shareholders who so choose can live in the RV park while building out their farmstead. And later, guests can stay and enjoy the community.
- Co-op store for importing and exporting goods and where the profits benefit the co-op members.

An Agricultural Co-op
No, this is not a religious community (though most are), this is not a commune, nor a political statement. This is an agricultural cooperative created by a group of families that want to produce all their own food, water, and power independently of any market or government.
Benefits:
Your $20,000 gets you:
- Two acres at the Riverbed Ranch farmsteading community (you get a land cooperative’s equivalent of a title, it’s called a “proprietary occupancy agreement” and can be bought and sold). Over 1 million Americans own their land and homes through land co-ops.
- Two and a half acre-feet of water rights (that’s 814,627 gallons of well water a year),
- A vote in the cooperative,
- Opportunity for group purchases of products and services needed to build your farmstead.
- Opportunity to sell your products and services through the co-op (or any way you wish),
- First stab at job openings within the cooperative, and
- The opportunity to spearhead the creation of sub-cooperatives to provide jobs and goods and services to the co-op members and/or outside customers.
- To live around 249 other families who are determined to live self-reliantly.
