ABOUT TILMOR

Over the last several decades, agricultural manufacturers have increasingly focused on large, industrial, non-organic farms using pesticides and chemicals. Small growers have few options for the specialized equipment they need to run their farms more efficiently. Tilmor is bringing the focus back to small farmers by offering effective, simple, affordable, and innovative equipment built for them.

Small growers face unique challenges and often must rely on older equipment that was developed many years ago for mechanized cultivation. This often means farmers are forced to rely on parts that are obsolete, poorly constructed or difficult to find. Our goal is to produce a variety of implements for planting, cultivation, harvest, post-harvest, and more. These implements will be built to last and fully supported by Tilmor, making it easy to find and purchase the equipment you need to maintain your farm.
