About Us
Supporting TN Truffle Farmers
The TN Truffle Association is committed to providing education and support to TN Truffle Farmers. Our programs will help TN Truffle farmers apply for individual and group grants in an effort to best farming practices for our area. Information from these studies will be posted for the benefit of all farmers.
Ongoing projects will allow you to visit local farms and get a first hand look at site design and implementation of best practice techniques.
Our Mission
North American Truffle Farming Sustainability
Many small farming projects are being conducted in the US to determine optimal growing conditions for Tuber Melanosporum, better known across the world as the Black Perigord Truffle. Our mission is to sniff out and develop sustainable truffle farming practices that produce consistent results and can be applied to the US truffle growing regions. Our blog will be used to share both the successes and failures along our journey.
We currently have plans for an irrigation study, rooftop water harvesting, mulching, and the use of chickens and ducks in the orchard to help manage pests.
