About us
Who we are
We are a family. We are farmers. We are community builders. We are JOY bringers. We connect you to your farmers by hand-delivering the very best and freshest local goods right to your front door. Our journey to get here was completely unplanned and unprecedented. We were not farmers. We did not grow up in wide open spaces, and we definitely did not plan on leaving the classroom or the exam room. We grew TUF guided by faith, supported by our family and by finding meaning and connection through our food.
What we do
We cultivate community through food by partnering with real people, growing and creating real products and connecting you to their stories by hand-delivering those goods to your family.
