Open Farm Days
Red Fox Farm is Open on Fridays in August, September, and October, from 2-8pm
An opportunity to explore a mixed organic farm on the Hants Shore!
On Fridays we open our farm to the public. Come and explore the farm, walk the trails, bring a picnic, visit the livestock, and check out the market gardening activities. Produce and plants are available for sale. To participate in any of the free workshops below, please call (902-757-1640) or email (jenredfox@gmail.com) to reserve a place. Please note, we do charge for any ingredients participants take home.
Workshop descriptions:
October 7 3 pm Convenience food from your garden
We will harvest and prepare the ingredients together (we do charge for ingredients), make the treats, and everyone will have lots to bring home. If you have small freezer bags, bring them along to fill. It is a real treat to have your own baggies of garden goodness from the freezer all winter long. This is garden 'junk food' that is tasty and good for you *If you can’t make it for 3pm, get in touch and we can arrange another time.
October 14 3 pm Make your own sauerkraut or kimchi
We will harvest and prepare the ingredients together (we do charge for ingredients), make up the jars of kraut and kimchi, and everyone will have lots to bring home. If you have mason jars, bring them along to fill. This method of preserving the harvest costs nothing to process, and nothing to keep until you eat it. It is also very good for your digestion and general health. Why make kraut alone when we can all make it together? *If you can’t make it for 3pm, get in touch and we can arrange another time.
October 21 3 pm Make your own sourdough bread the easy way
We will grind the wheat, make the dough, and let it sit while we take a prepared dough and get it ready to bake. When the bread comes out of the oven we'll have a snack to taste it. We will have loaves for sale if people want to bring some home. Why make bread the hard way? *If you can’t make it for 3pm, get in touch and we can arrange another time.

We’re at 182 Red Bank Rd. in Centre Burlington. Watch for the Heliotrust sign.
