A Little About Us

443.497.5245

Our Roots Grow Deep

Our family grows on leased land outside of Easton, Maryland, bringing new life to an old farm field.  Soil health is at the heart of our practice and to that end we are a no-tractor, no synthetic chemical farm.  Our small space is highly productive through the use of intensive growing methods, specialized equipment, and regenerative soil science.  Working thoughtfully and lovingly with the land is the heart of our daily practice.


Although we made the decision to start our own farm after our son's birth in 2014, the seed of Fox Briar was planted years prior. Kathleen Moss has worked in small scale agriculture for more than a decade, and with husband Daniel our combined farming experience totals more than seventeen growing seasons.  Beginning with a quarter acre in our back yard, we embraced the French micro-scale market gardening tradition, and urban farming models that provide high quality produce on low acreage. 

​

We currently operate a CSA in Easton, MD and sell at the Historic Lewes Farmers market in Lewes, DE.

"The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life."

Wendell Berry

What is Regenerative Agriculture?

It is a  system of farming principles and practices that increases biodiversity, enriches soils, improves watersheds, and enhances ecosystem services.  We accomplish this largely through our low-till bed system, natural farming methods, and lovingly amended soil.


Regenerative agriculture sees soil management and supporting the ecology of the land as the foundation of good food for all.  We feed the earth and the ecosystem just as we feed our friends.

Commoning the Land

We also believe deeply that Land is best cared for when done in common, and the measure of Land as capital has led to its plundering and a global eco-crisis.  On a purely practical level, land ownership is increasingly out of reach for many  people who want to grow food directly for their community.  We proudly do not own the Land that we grow on, but share it with Delmarva Native Plants, a wholesale native nursery.  We have very different businesses and specialties, but together we are better stewards of our field than we would be apart.  We are able to share resources, wisdom, frustrations, and joys, working and loving the land alongside each other.
