We invite you to the farm to reconnect and recharge! Conveniently located between Columbia and Jefferson City, just two miles from the Missouri River and Katy Trail, Blue Fox Farm is the homestead of Alan Helland and Megan Fox.
The farm currently includes three acres of elderberries, fruit tree orchard, gardens, and a small flock of poultry. The former home of the award-winning forest kindergarten program, the schoolhouse is available to rent for nature-rich getaways. The 70 acres at Blue Fox Farm are rich in native flora and fauna and beautiful Missouri River valley topography.
