Taproot Farm LLC

Now in its 8th year, Taproot Farm LLC is a woman-owned small farm growing flowers, vegetables, and herbs on a 7 acre property in Oakland Twp. that includes an 1837 farmhouse, woods, fields, and a branch of Stoney Creek.

I sell to some restaurants and to members in my Taproot Farm CSAs from May to October. While I am not certified organic, I use low-impact techniques such as crop rotation, cover cropping, low-till, wide crop beds, straw and compost mulch, and pollinator borders on less than an acre to preserve the soil and water health of the property.

I love to cook and select uncommon vegetables for taste and beauty. I use organic, heirloom and open-pollinated seed from small seed companies to grow my own transplants and also host an annual seedling sale for home gardeners.

We are a small farm and have a limited number of shares available. Every week you will get a variety of vegetables to make healthy delicious meals for your family. We try not to repeat offerings (except favorites!) and keep shares manageable as we know you are busy! Shares include a weekly note with descriptions and recipe ideas.
