Chris Burkhouse is a farmer focused on organic, diversified vegetables. She co-owned and operated Foxtail Farm for 25 + years before transitioning the farm to beginning farmers.  At Foxtail she helped train over 100 farmers including some from other countries.  Some of the farmers who are now members of the SCVFA worked at Foxtail and started their farm businesses by incubating at Foxtail.  She believes strongly in growing healthy food, people, and community in a way that limits harm and benefits all.  She also spent 12 years working with immigrants and refugees at the International Institute of MN and is a certified yoga therapist. Her passion for farming continues through consulting with beginning farmers, working on 3 different SCVFA farms, as well as serving as Vice Chair of the SCVFA board. When she doesn't have her hands in the dirt, she enjoys hiking, traveling and most importantly, savoring a delicious meal and coffee.  Booyah!
