R/Farm Distilling Co. sits on a working farm along US Highway 59 in Mound City, Missouri, where founders Ryan and Rachel Ridenour turned their agricultural roots into craft spirits production. The husband-and-wife team launched their distillery in 2018, converting farm buildings on their family property into a production facility that celebrates rural Missouri’s farming heritage. They produce bourbon, vodka, and moonshine using locally-sourced grains when possible, keeping operations small-scale and hands-on. The distillery reflects their commitment to farm-to-bottle production, with Ryan handling distillation while Rachel manages business operations and customer experience. You’ll find them working alongside visitors during tours, sharing stories about transitioning from traditional farming to craft distilling. The facility maintains its agricultural character with rustic buildings and farm equipment visible throughout the property, creating an authentic rural Missouri atmosphere that sets it apart from urban distilleries.
