“I get to be playful with the work, and it’s a straightforward way to tie art into agriculture,” Farrar said, reflecting on her dual English and photography major at a liberal arts college.
STANFORDVILLE — Pepper, a cattle-dog schnauzer mix, and Earl, a calico cat, tear through Foxtrot Farm’s design studio in Standfordville in an all-out sprint. They seem to have a love-hate routine down pat. After a burst of chaos, Earl disappears behind a box and Pepper curls onto the couch and begins to snore. On this cold January day, farm owner Kate Farrar is just about to begin seeding for the season.
Sitting on just five acres, Foxtrot Farm is a small but mighty regenerative flower farm and floral design studio in Stanfordville, and Farrar is planting seeds — literally and figuratively — for her fifth growing season. While winter is a time of recalibration and reflection, it also marks a pivotal moment when Farrar’s hard work will pay off in the months ahead. There’s something for everyone at Foxtrot.
