Welcome to Fox Hollow Farms

Pride of Missouri River Hill Country

Fox Hollow Farms (FHF) is a one hundered acre nature preserve located among scenic Missouri River hill country in southern Boone County Missouri.  Owned and managed by the Fox Hollow Partners, the "farm" is not actually a working farm but rather a private property for the Partners to seek solitude from everyday urban life.  Besides enjoying rest and relaxation, the Partners pursue conservation practices to mitigate the on-going pressures of plant invasion by such non-native exotics as bush honeysuckle, multiflora rose and autumn olive, as well as aggresive natives including thorny honeylocust and eastern red cedar.

Soon after the purchase of the property in the mid-1990's, the Partners concentrated their efforts on cleaning up the significant mess left behind by the previous property owner. The early 2000's realized a complete renovation of the traditional farmhouse as "The Lodge", a cozy "base camp" for enjoyment by the Fox Hollow Partners and their guests.
