Real food, grown with care, for people and planet.
Vegetables, herbs, artisan sourdough, and eggs produced to organic standards.
About The Farm
We’re Claire and Matthew Troemner. We steward Troemner Farm as a living ecosystem, one where soil, plants, water, fungi, microbes, insects, pollinators, birds, trees, chickens, wildlife, crops, and community are all intimately connected. Every decision leaves a mark, and we grow with that responsibility in mind.
We farm to regenerative and organic standards: building living soil, protecting habitat, reducing waste, conserving water and energy, supporting biodiversity, and making high-quality, nutrient-dense food more accessible to all.
Farming should do more than produce. It should repair where it can, give back where it takes, and help people reconnect with the natural world and eachother.
Troemner Farm Stand
A scenic ten minute drive from downtown Houghton.
Located at the end of our driveway, the Farm Stand is stocked with farm fresh eggs daily, produce late spring through fall, and delicious artisan foods.
Be sure to greet our chickens scratching in the pasture and gaze across garden rows of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. There’s plenty farm life to see when you drive up, so please do not enter the fenced garden or chicken pasture without an invitation.

Searching for Sourdough?
During market season, you have two ways to find our fresh-baked loaves in a variety of delicious shapes and sizes.
The first is to shop our booth at the Calumet Farmers Market on Saturdays from 10 AM–2 PM in Agassiz Park. We recommend coming earlier rather than later, as we sell out before the market ends.
The second option is to place a pickup order by midnight on Wednesday for Saturday pickup. Pickup options are available in Houghton, Hancock, and Calumet.
Because we sell out at the Calumet Farmers Market on Saturdays, we do not stock sourdough at the farm stand without a pre-order, and frozen loaves will not reliably be available either.
Troemner Trail
A 0.6 mile nature hike open to the public 8AM-8PM.
Find the trailhead on the left of our driveway when you enter. It is clearly marked by a message board featuring a map, trail rules, and our wildlife habitat certification plaque.
Please do not block the driveway during your visit. Park at the end of the driveway facing the house, next to the silver truck as you would when shopping the Farm Stand.
Troemner Trail is cleared, regularly mowed, and marked with pink flags so its easy to stay the course. With footbridges over wet areas, it runs through a variety of wildlife habitats like forest, prairie, and wetland.
We steward this habitat with great care, adding more native perennial pollinator plants every year so that a diverse biology can flourish.

What customers are saying…
“I'm stoked to have found local farmers I can support who are doing everything to the best quality they can. I mean--how great is it that I can not only buy fresh-milled flour they've milled themselves, but also fresh sourdough bread made from this said-flour. I love having access to their quality ingredients and quality products and trusting where it all comes from. Thank you creating yummy things AND doing it in harmony with the land. So much gratitude!”

“The best bread in the Copper Country.”

“Bought their sourdough bread for the 1st time at the Farmers Market just the other day... it was excellent: crusty on the outside and soft in the middle... just like it should be!!! Now I learned they are just around the corner from my house! I will have to try their farm stand too!”

“I'm so grateful for everything Troemner Farm produces! Not only is everything incredible quality, but Claire and Matt have such a conscious approach to farming. Their sourdough and farm fresh eggs are our weekly standbys, but we have tried and love it all!”
Nikki M.
“Have you tried the spiced nuts? You can't eat just one. They are so good! So is all the produce. I especially love the lettuces, the golden beets, and so much more. Great couple and great produce!”
Brian R.
“Not just great sourdough for a home kitchen, great sourdough period. We're lucky to have the Troemners in our neighborhood!”
Josh M.
“The Troemner's are fantastic people. Everything they offer is top notch. The French Onion Soup Broth is truly one of the best things I have ever had. A bowl of any broth Claire makes and a slice (or three) of their sourdough bread is a winter dream. Highly recommend!”
Maija M.
“I absolutely love everything Troemner Farm produces! From their syrups and spiced nuts, to their phenomenal sourdough bread, you're sure to find something delicious. Treat your taste buds!”
