Let Us Come Alongside You A farm membership can help you take positive steps toward accomplishing your healthy eating goals just like it did for us. We used to eat a lot of processed food, but we’ve really transformed our diet and love to help others who want to do the same. I felt guilty for not feeding my family more vegetables, but I couldn’t tell a zucchini from a cucumber. I certainly didn’t know where to start to form new, healthy habits. Then some friends came alongside me. They cooked wi

About Us Our farm, "Tosche Homestead," is the product of a lifelong dream and a lot of hard work. (That's pronounced TOSH-ee. It's a Star Wars reference. We're nerds.)

In late 2020, that dream became reality when we found our perfect homestead, with its 130 year-old farmhouse, pond, barn, and plenty of space.

We are accidental farmers. We started out attempting to get an abandoned pocket park cleaned up and updated. That started a multi-year journey working with the Parks and Rec department and City Council to allow the neighborhood itself to decide what would be done with a lot that is directly next to my home. In the end, my husband and I were allowed to convert this old and vacant once-upon-a-time park into a market garden space. This was in 2016, and from there we have only grown in scale and sco
