The Farm
Our CSA is full for 2012. Thanks to all of our new and returning members! If you’d like to be added to our mailing list for 2013, please e-mail us: foxandfawnfarm@gmail.com
Fox & Fawn Farm is a non-certified organic fruit and vegetable farm located 35 miles west of Minneapolis in New Germany, MN. Head farmer Tim “Red” Kirkman and his wife, bean-picking expert Nina Marie Healy Kirkman, purchased 10 acres of land near the Luce Line Trail in 2009 and are now embarking on their 4th season of independent production following three years of internships in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
In 2012, we will be growing of 235 total varieties of 72 different crops–everything from Acorn winter squash to Zebra tomatoes. This year we will be adding 5 apple trees to our existing 25 trees, 12 grape seedlings for a total of 30, and 25 asparagus crowns for a total of 75. Raspberries, rhubarb and strawberries continue to increase production, with blueberries hopefully in our future as well.

All of our produce is available through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. CSA farms sell the bounty of the season’s harvest to interested shareholders who pay for their produce up front (when the ground is covered in snow drifts) in exchange for weekly shares of produce throughout the growing season (when the ground is covered in Snow Peas). Our CSA offers the bounty of the season for 18 weeks (give or take a week), garden-fresh recipes, stories of our triumphs and travails, and a connection to the food on your plate with farm visits and a harvest celebration in September. For more information on our CSA and our application, please click on CSA above.
We are now accepting memberships for 2012! Look under the CSA heading for our forms.
Additionally, we are excited to begin our fourth season in collaboration with Terra Waconia, located in beautiful downtown Waconia. Please check out this incredible restaurant to see what their great chefs and staff can do with local produce, eggs, and meat, including many fruits and veggies from our farm.
We love what we do, and we are thankful for your support and interest. It is an incredible blessing to be living out my passions in harmony with the earth and my community. Thank you!
