Brooklyn Grange - New York

The Tillie has been a great machine for our farm. The battery has surprisingly strong power and longevity, and the Tillie has allowed us to reduce both the time and labor involved in bed preparation, weeding, bed shaping, and even light tilling in our loose soil. It’s a worthwhile investment which clearly paid for itself.”

Ben Flanner – Founder, Brooklyn Grange

“The Carts and Tools Tillie has allowed our field staff to create in-ground raised beds with beautiful texture of soil. Not only aesthetically have we benefited from the use of the Tillie, the beds are now able to hold more moisture allowing our deep-rooted crops to thrive. The Tillie is a staple tool now as we continue to construct beds in our DC farms.”

“I love my Tillie for my small farm! I do wish it wasn’t quite as heavy as it is but understand that the weight is due to the solid construction of the tool. It feels like it will last forever and is very handy for a lot of different jobs around the farm!”
