Family-Owned Farmstead | Branford, CT
🕊️ In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Animals
On the morning of January 30th, Fox Field Farm experienced a devastating barn fire that forever changed our farm family.
While all people are safe and one brave horse was heroically saved, we tragically lost three of our beloved horses — Norman, Merlin, and Willow — along with many cherished animals who called our barn home: our sweet barn cats and kittens, gentle bunnies, curious guinea pigs, and our flock of young chickens and quail.
These animals were more than part of our farm — they were part of our family, our daily rhythm, and the magic that so many children and visitors experienced here.
We are grieving deeply, but we are also incredibly grateful for the love and support surrounding our farm community. Your kindness, prayers, and messages mean more than we can ever express.
Fox Field Farm will rebuild with our animal's beautiful souls and spirits carried forward in everything we do.
Their hoof-beats, purrs, and soft squeaks and clucks will echo here always.
With love and gratitude,
The Fox Field Farm Family
