About
A family, a piece of land, a promise
We set out to grow food the honest way — protecting the soil that feeds us and the community that gathers around the table.
Founded in 2021 by Mark & Tammy
Tompkins Farm & Land is owned and run by Mark & Tammy Tompkins. What began in 2021 as a love of the land in Randolph, New York has grown into a working family farm in the heart of Cattaraugus County — close to the Pennsylvania line, in the cool, rolling country of USDA Zone 5b–6a.
It has always been a family affair. Mark and Tammy raised three daughters, and today there are five grandchildren who run the rows, hunt for ripe pumpkins, and pull sweet corn an hour before supper. The farm is, more than anything, the place this family comes together.
Every season we learn a little more from the ground itself, and every year the soil gives a little more back. We're still a young farm, and proud of it: building something honest, one harvest at a time.
Mark & Tammy Tompkins
Mark and Tammy are the heart and the hands of Tompkins Farm. They bought the ground, planned the fields, and put in the first seed — and they still do most of the work themselves, the way they like it.
Ask them why they farm and you'll get the same answer: for the family. The long planting days and the early harvest mornings all lead back to the same place — a table full of people they love, eating food they grew together.
Three daughters, five grandkids
A farm is a wonderful place to be a kid — and an even better place to be a grandparent. Our five grandchildren are growing up with dirt on their hands and sweet corn on their faces, and that's exactly the point.

Bringing in the harvestThe freshest food, the healthiest land
Quality produce
To provide the freshest, highest-quality produce we can grow — picked at its peak and shared at its best.
Protect the land
To farm sustainably with practices that protect our soil and water — keeping this land healthy for future generations.
Stronger community
To support local agriculture, because we believe good food, grown close to home, builds stronger and healthier communities.
Every field has its place
Our acreage is laid out with intention — crops, gardens, clover buffers, and wild edges that work together as one healthy system.
From above
From the air you can read the whole story: open crop ground, the pond, wooded edges for wildlife, and the buildings at the heart of it all. We work with the contours of the land rather than against them.
