Description

Tantre Farm
Tantre Farm has been a certified organic farm since 1993. It is located about 9 miles southwest of Chelsea, Michigan. On our 40-acre farm we grow a wide variety of vegetables, flowers, herbs, and some fruits such as berries, pears, and melons. We also have a few chickens, a dog, cats, goats, and some Guernsey/Jersey dairy cows. We sell our produce at local stores, restaurants, and also at the Ann Arbor and Chelsea Farmers' Markets. Internships are also available for all or part of the season. We are looking for self-motivated interns with a positive attitude and good work ethic, who would like to work and live on a bio-intensive, small-scale, organic farm. Please contact us for more details.

Our Summer CSA season runs for 20 weeks from June through October with an additional Extended Fall Share that extends for 3 weeks after our Summer Season ends, and a Thanksgiving Share that may be purchased in Sept. and Oct.

You will receive your produce each week in a ¾ bushel or 1 bushel box that will have been stored in a cooler as soon as it is packed in the mornings on Harvest Days (Tuesdays and Fridays). There will be about 8-10 items in your share during the first 4 weeks. You'll continue to receive more items as the season continues, ranging from 8 to 16 items. Each week our goal is to provide 1 to 4 salad greens (lettuce, arugula, etc.), 1 to 4 cooking greens (kale, collards, etc.), 1 or 2 herbs, 1 to 4 root vegetables (carrots, etc.), 1 to 4 fruiting vegetables (tomatoes, corn, squash, etc.), 1 or 2 alliums (onions, garlic), and 1 to 3 brassicas (broccoli/cabbage family). We grow a large variety of crops, so you'll be able to try new things and find out what it means to eat seasonally (i.e. asparagus is a spring/early summer crop, so it will not be available past June).
