Our Story...
Foster Farm Management is more than a farm. It is a living family legacy rooted in Southwest Michigan since 1837.
Located in the Keeler and Hartford region, our farm has been carried through generations by hardworking people committed to family, faith,
stewardship, and quality agriculture.
Throughout the years, our family has grown strawberries, blueberries, pickles, and other crops while adapting to the changing agricultural landscape. Every generation has added something new to the farm while preserving the values that matter most.
Today, Foster Farm Management is entering a new chapter as sisters Emily and Stefany Foster continue the family operation as the first women in our family to carry the farm forward.
Emily leads day-to-day farm operations and harvest management with a passion for hard work, relationships, and sharing quality produce with the community.
Stefany supports the future growth of the farm through branding, ecommerce, systems, customer experience, and strategic modernization.
Together, we are focused on honoring our family’s history while building a sustainable future for the next generation.
We believe farming should be:
- Rooted in integrity
- Focused on quality
- Connected to community
- Accessible to customers
- Guided by stewardship and gratitude
At Foster Farm Management, we are proud to continue growing
forward.
