What we do

Fox Run is a group of folks living together in a 1900s farmhouse in Lebanon, NH. It’s a gathering place for friends, a place to connect with each other, and a refuge from the ills of the modern world.
Increasingly, the focus is on growing, harvesting, preparing and sharing food. With a mature apple orchard and many other maturing trees, shrubs, and am active annual garden, the energy around plants and regenerative gardening is literally growing.

Our Mission

The purpose of Fox Run is to provide meaningful community in a disconnected world; to bring people together around shared living; to experience living and working together; and to contribute to and share in the bounty of a rich and diverse food forest, veggie farm, and flower garden.

Worktrade Opportunities on Big Island Hawaii

We are continuing our work-trade program at Bridge Hawaii for the right people on this beautiful 86-acre land located along the Hāmākua Coast. Ideally, we want to host those individuals who can help with the garden and who can support with build projects for up to a 3 month stay. This work-trade would include lodging, food staples, community kitchen, running hot water showers, off-grid electricity, and laundry. There is access to high speed wi-fi. We often have a car that can be reserved. We also have full bar signal strength with Verizon cellphone service. We have about 2 acres of permaculture garden that needs to be cared for including; weeding, planting, picking up mulch, some tree trimming, ect. We are currently in a building stage on the land. We have a few current grant projects we are working on and some build projects that are underway. We are an intentional community with about 8 permanent residents. There are rescue dairy cows, mini cows, mini donkeys, horses, a donkey, cats, dogs, and active bee hives. We are a drug and alcohol “free” space. A glass of wine or beer with dinner is fine, but absolutely no day drinking or parties. We have a meditation temple and many waterfall pools that are wonderful for swimming. Close to some of the nicest beaches on island. We have snorkeling gear and a kayak. Since this is an animal sanctuary, we limit the consumption of meat on the land. Fish, eggs, honey, and dairy are fine. Let me know if you’re interested by sending an email or text for our application. Maomi (801) 623-0738 ma***@*****************ii.com
