đŸŒŸ TOG Farms: The Story Behind Our Name

And How It Shaped Everything We’ve Become

Have you ever paused to think about the story behind a name? For us at TOG Farms, it all began on a family vacation. My dad, my father-in-law, and I were crafting walking sticks with my 6-year-old daughter. To our surprise, she suggested we sell them. We all laughed at the idea and began a game of naming our hypothetical business. After several silly attempts, my daughter came up with “Three Old Guys”—or TOG. We couldn’t stop laughing, and little did we know, that name would soon become the foundation of our farm.

Every visit to TOG Farms reflects that joyful moment sparked by a child’s imagination. It’s a name born of laughter, love, and the kind of creativity that only comes from time spent together.

đŸŒ± The Birth of an Idea

TOG Farms was never just about farming—it was about family. That spontaneous moment of naming walking sticks turned into a vision for something bigger. “Three Old Guys” became a symbol of our bond, our humor, and our shared dream. It reminded us that the best ideas often come from the most unexpected places.

🌿 Growing Together

Over the past 10 years, TOG Farms has grown from a small idea into a thriving business rooted in community and care. We began with fresh, local produce—over 70% of it grown within a 50-mile radius of our farm. Our commitment to sourcing locally and sustainably earned us loyal customers who valued quality and connection.

We learned alongside fellow farmers, deepening our understanding of the land and the people who care for it. TOG Farms became more than a place—it became a shared experience.

🍃 Expanding Our Offerings

Our journey into herbal wellness began in the fall of 2021, when we introduced a small, heartfelt selection of teas. What started with just a few blends quickly blossomed into something much greater. Today, we proudly offer over 80 unique teas, including bold black teas, soothing green teas, and vibrant herbal infusions—each one hand-blended with care and crafted to nourish both body and spirit.

Encouraged by the response from our community, we continued to listen and grow. In the fall of 2025, we expanded our offerings once more, introducing a line of tinctures, oils, balms, salves, and other herbal remedies under our new apothecary branch, Hearth & Herb Botanicals. These products reflect our deepening commitment to plant-based wellness and our belief in the healing power of herbs.

Together with The Tea Barn, our teas and remedies now form the heart of TOG Farms’ mission: to provide soulful, sustainable products that honor the land, uplift the spirit, and bring comfort to everyday life.

We believe in the healing power of plants—and we’re excited to share that journey with you.
