Brian Fox of Salem Mountain Farm is a third generation farmer from South Canaan PA. As many teenagers do, Brian dreamed of other things and left the farm to attend college in Washington DC. He stayed for nearly 15 years, working as a graphic designer before returning to the farm of his childhood. In 2001, he shifted the farm’s focus from conventional dairy to growing vegetables and raising rotational grass-fed beef. In 2017 he married Rachael, who joined him on the farm. They have two children, Angus born in 2018 and Agathe in 2019. Together they work the land as a family, with their main goals being to grow amazing vegetables to feed to their community, feed the soil to leave the land better than they found it, and to lay the groundwork for the next generation.

Brian is a guest in Episode 1: Asparagus, Episode 5: Strawberries and Episode 8: Garlic.
