Kate & Pepper

I’m Kate! Grower//Designer, Owner//Operator of Foxtrot. 

My origin is of flowers. I was raised, it feels, within my Mom’s abundant gardens. My family and I worked together in them every weekend - wandering, watching, weeding, making “dirt soup”, harvesting buckets of flowers to bring into our home and enjoy all week long.

I’m drawn to this work through my interest in art, the visual, the sensory.  Through my heart’s need to cultivate and share beauty. Through my dedication to regenerative growing practices and responsible land stewardship.    

My fearless companion, Pepper, is Foxtrot’s guardian and muse. Dedicated huntress and belly rub enthusiast, most days she pals around with me, keeping things in check and making sure I don’t take myself too seriously.

 

Foxtrot

After 10 years of working in local agriculture, alongside many talented growers in the Hudson Valley, I was able to bring Foxtrot into existence in 2021.

Foxtrot Farm & Flowers is a Mom & Pup (yes, pup) flower farm and flower studio nestled within the rolling hills of Attlebury in Stanfordville, NY.

I operate Foxtrot on a 1-acre plot, using no-till practices. I am committed to regenerative growing practices at Foxtrot (more on what that means, below).

Foxtrot specializes in growing flowers that are elegant, joyful, fragrant alongside foliage that is moody, airy, architectural. Arrangements from Foxtrot inspire intrigue & delight!

In 2024, Foxtrot enters its third full time growing season. I am so grateful for the local community that has allowed Foxtrot to thrive and share beauty, so grateful for the friends who have helped in small and large ways to build this farm out with me. Foxtrot would be nothing without you!

Radical Regeneration

“We have destroyed nature. We have depleted nature. And so our task now is not just to save the bit of nature that we have, save the old standing forests that we have, not just to save the few corals that are left, but actually to intentionally regenerate: regenerate the soil, regenerate the coral reefs, regenerate the forest, regenerate, and allow nature, with our help, to get back to the resilience that she used to have. Because frankly, it’s in our own interest that she has that resilience.”
