The Roots of our Farm

My name is Kathleen Moss, and I am your farmer. I live in Easton, MD with my husband, two kids, and dog, and grow on leased land in Hurlock, MD. I worked on organic farms of various scales and styles for about a decade before I started Fox Briar Farm on barely a quarter acre of our tiny rented Salisbury backyard in 2015 with a 15 person CSA and farmers market.

 When we moved to Easton in 2018, I joined forced with Delmarva Native Plants (DNP), a wholesale native plant nursery, on their newly purchased plot of farmland in Hurlock, to work a section of their old farm field. I was able to increase the amount of land I was farming (a little over half and acre now) and start to invest in the infrastructure and design I needed to make a sustainable and successful small farm business. I am so lucky to have DNP as land partners, sharing values of land stewardship and ecosystem care between our two ventures.

The work of the farm is born out of a love of land and labor, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of food. Even though I worked on many larger scale farms, when dreaming of what I wanted my own vegetable production farm to look like, I always wanted it to be small, to facilitate an intimacy with the land and the plants, and a level of care not available in larger and more mechanized systems.
