Small scale regenerative agriculture
Fox Holler is a tiny, ecologically designed and focused community-based farm in Northeast Missouri. We live and grow food off-grid, utilizing rain-water catchment, solar energy, and other radical forms of nutrient and material cycling. Our goal is to provide nutrient dense food on human scale while regenerating soils and reducing carbon emissions.
We practice no-till/low-till farming that incorporates management intensive rotational grazing harmoniously with annual vegetable crops and perennial agroforestry. We are focused on providing more and more of our animal’s food needs with tree crops such as nuts and fruit.
We do not use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides, and are working to minimize our reliance on fossil fuels.
