Mission:
Tantré Farm’s mission is to produce and distribute fresh, organic produce, while serving as an educational, sustainable, and social network for our surrounding community. We hope to achieve this mission through our CSA, Farmers’ Markets, Farm-to-School program, local stores, local restaurants, schools, and other community connections.
Our goals at Tantré Farm are to produce fresh, healthy foods for the local community, provide quality of life for the farmer, and sustain economic viability for the farm with care and respect for nature’s diversity.
About Us:
Tantré Farm has been an organic farm since 1993. We are located about 20 miles west of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Our fruit crops include strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, pears, and melons. We grow about 80 to 100 varieties of vegetables and a small variety of herbs and flowers. In addition to that, we have a dog, some cats, a small flock of chickens, a few pigs, and a small herd of dairy cows.
We sell our produce through CSA shares, at various local stores, restaurants, and also at the Ann Arbor and Chelsea Farmers Markets.
Our farmland has grown to about 115 acres of wetland, woods, and sandy-loam fields.
Richard and Deb, along with their daughter, Ariana, live on-site year round. Seasonal workers or interns join them for various parts of the year, living and working together.
