Troemner Farm is a small family farm in Atlantic Mine, serving our local Keweenaw community with food grown carefully and conscientiously. We are Certified Naturally Grown, meaning our produce and herbs are raised to organic standards. Everything that touches our soil is chemical-free and chosen with the health of our community, land, and environment in mind — no exceptions.
We are committed to becoming more sustainable each year, strengthening our farm’s ecosystem, expanding food access, and delighting our customers with nutritious artisan foods crafted from the highest-quality local and organic ingredients.
Our flock of one hundred laying hens is cared for holistically and fed a corn- and soy-free diet. We grow fresh vegetables and herbs, as well as produce eggs, sourdough, jam, and other artisan foods.

OUR PRACTICES
We work in harmony with nature, using regenerative and organic practices. We nurture the soil, integrate livestock, grow diverse and resilient crops, and care for the land with long-term ecological balance in mind.
CERTIFIED NATURALLY GROWN
-
Everything that goes into our garden is certified organic — seeds, soil, fertilizer, and amendments. Our inputs are all naturally derived: chicken compost, blood meal, bone meal, fish emulsion, and fermented inoculants rich in beneficial bacteria and fungi. None of that questionable synthetic stuff.
-
Healthy, balanced, living soil produces robust, nutritious crops — so soil health is always a priority. We let our beds rest, plant cover crops, and practice minimal tilling to protect the soil structure, minimize disturbance, and keep living roots in the ground as much as possible.
Our garden isn’t just about what we can harvest — it’s a reciprocal relationship with the land. We’re responsible for fostering rich biological activity and creating conditions where beneficial organisms like earthworms, mycorrhizal fungi, and pollinators can truly flourish.
-
We keep a flock of just under one-hundred chickens and compost their manure-rich bedding every year, returning those nutrients to the soil to help build fertility and sustain a healthy and productive garden.
We also accept food scraps through our Community Composting Program, turning would-be landfill waste into rich compost that nourishes our soil instead.
-
We carefully plan and rotate our crop plantings, intercrop, cover-crop, and companion plant to create a more resilient, diverse, and thriving garden ecosystem—from the microbes in the soil to the toads, salamanders, insects and birds who inhabit our garden.
-
We work in close relationship with our local community to best serve their needs, interests, and passions. We’re always listening, learning, and looking for ways to be more sustainable, supportive, and rooted in mutual care.
