Generations of Trust
Proudly serving Northwest Ohio’s farm &
livestock communities since 1966.
At Ridgeville Elevator, we believe in doing things the right way — with integrity, hard work, and a deep respect for the people we serve. For nearly six decades, we’ve supported farmers, livestock producers, and rural families across Northwest Ohio with trusted service.
Founded in 1966, Ridgeville Elevator was created with the goal of serving the heart of our agricultural community. From local farmers to livestock producers and families seeking quality feed, we are committed to meeting their unique needs. Over the years, we've expanded our reach, providing a range of services that empower farmers and rural businesses to thrive.
Ridgeville Elevator was founded when the Beck Brothers opened the elevator to serve their local farming community. Darwin Beck later became sole owner and expanded the business, leaving a lasting mark on Ridgeville Corners through both agricultural growth and civic investment — from acquiring new locations to establishing the town’s first park and bank.
Today, we continue that legacy with a strong focus on integrity, dependable service, and a lasting commitment to our customers’ success.
