Company description

Little Fox Farm grows a wide variety of vegetables, fruit, and cut flowers on 8 acres of land. We grow 6 acres of blueberries, figs, muscadines, Asian pears, and strawberries. We also grow a wide variety of vegetables and cut flowers on the remaining two acres. Some of those crops are grown in our 8 hoop houses. The Certified Naturally Grown farm is located in Pine Mountain, Georgia. The farm is located 30 miles North of Columbus and 80 miles South of Atlanta. 

We strive to provide organically grown, local vegetables to the community by working alongside nature, not against it. Our vegetables are grown in a bio-diverse environment using sustainable practices that preserve and improve the health of the land and the community.
