a new adventure, again
What will a city dweller who loves the outdoors do with 100 acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills just outside Yosemite National Park?
Share the adventure with other like minded individuals.
In July 2015, we purchased our home with a dream of creating a peaceful country life. We wanted enough space for chickens, bees, pigs, goats, an orchard, a vineyard, thriving gardens, and dogs that could bark to their hearts' content—something that simply wasn't possible in a busy suburban neighborhood.
Alongside the farm, we opened a Bed & Breakfast and welcomed guests from around the world for seven wonderful years, with only a brief pause during the COVID pandemic. In April 2025, we closed the B&B to focus our time and energy on growing what had always been our passion: the farm. That decision led to the creation of our farm shop, where we can share the fruits of our labor with our local community.
Today, we offer fresh eggs, seasonal produce, and a variety of locally made goods. You'll find familiar favorites like tomatoes, apples, nectarines, and fresh herbs, along with some unique discoveries such as saffron, pluots (a delicious plum-apricot hybrid), and mallow. We grow our produce using natural practices, so you may occasionally notice a few blemishes or imperfections—a small reminder that our fruits and vegetables are grown without routine chemical sprays and picked for flavor rather than appearance.
Caring for the land is at the heart of everything we do. Whenever possible, we choose compostable or recyclable packaging and continually look for ways to reduce waste and minimize our environmental impact. We believe that even small, thoughtful choices can help protect the land we're fortunate to call home.
If you're in the area, we'd love for you to stop by, explore the farm shop, and see what Foxtail Farm has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you!

The dark blue blanket covered the morning sky.
Tall, dark columns patterned the hazy view,
Wreathed in the heavy breath.
Some call it a forest.
I call it heaven.
