Ridgewood Farm

 is a location featured in Red Dead Redemption in the Cholla Springs region of the New Austin territory.

Background
Ridgewood Farm, much like MacFarlane's Ranch, seems to serve not only as an agricultural business, but also a gathering point for the local community. It is implied the farm employs many workers from the surrounding area. Despite being the site of a massacre early on in the game, it seems to recover very quickly.

Red Dead Redemption
A large portion of the Leigh Johnson mission &quot;Spare the Rod, Spoil the Bandit&quot; takes place in this location, as does the Nigel West Dickens mission, &quot;You Shall Not Give False Testimony, Except for Profit&quot;.

Outlaws to the End
It is the final destination for the Outlaws to the End Co-op mission &quot;The Kidnapped Girl&quot;.

Undead Nightmare
In the Undead Nightmare DLC pack, this is one of 23 locations that must be cleared of the Undead and then protected from re-infestation thereafter.

With the ranch overrun by the undead, the few survivors left were able to find shelter in the barn. The survivors are Herman Ruff and Charlie Bengle.

When the ranch is safe, the player will receive the Springfield Rifle.

This is also the location of Orison Pratt, the eighth missing person to be rescued in the Fort Mercer segment of the Missing Souls Side-missions.

Layout
It features a large farmhouse, a barn, a pen where cattle are kept, a corral where horses are kept, and a shed which is a rentable property later in the game. The main house of Ridgewood Farm has a remarkable resemblance to Brett McBain's in the 1968 western movie; Once Upon a Time in the West.
