The Land
The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility.

The Story
Since our college days — lying in the fall sun reading Wendell Berry and Mary Oliver — we dreamed of a life lived in close harmony with the land. That vision began to take shape in 2010 when we moved home and tilled up Ben’s parents’ front yard. Little did we know those first seeds would grow into over fifteen years of farming adventures.
In the early years, we ran a CSA, attended the Emmaus Farmers Market, worked part-time jobs, and raised two young kids. In 2013, we purchased 41 acres and built a home. Over the years that followed, we produced everything from lamb, beef, and pork to vegetables A–Z, along with eggs, hay, rye, oats, and hemp. We launched Pennsylvania’s first PA-grown hemp brand, Wild Fox Provisions, and started a farmland investment company.
It has been both humbling and deeply rewarding to learn how to grow such a wide range of crops and steward land well. Along the way, we’ve had the privilege of training many farmers — some of whom have gone on to start their own farms.
In 2025, we made the difficult decision to step back from farmer's market attendance and commercial vegetable production. After fifteen years of full-time farming, we felt we had reached many of our personal goals. It was time to create space — for new opportunities, for creativity, and for our family.
For now, we’re focusing on grass-fed beef, pastured pork, hay, and a small garden.

The Animals
Animals play an integral role in a holistic farm system. From rotating the animals on cover cropped vegetable fields, rotationally grazing pastures, recycling bedding as compost, food waste nutrient cycling, to the simple pleasure of grazing animals in the pasture, Wild Fox Farm would not be as viable economically or ecologically without such a diverse and integrated system.
Every animal at Wild Fox Farm has ample room to roam, forage, interact, bask in the sun and express their true nature. All the animals have access to fresh clean water. The cattle are 100% grass fed and the pigs eat organically grown grain. Managed in this dynamic way, these animals never need, nor receive, antibiotics or added hormones.
