Meet your camp leaders:
Shari Bryant co-owns Foxfire Farm with her husband, Christopher, and together, they are raising their 3-year-old son, Declan. Shari is the visionary-in-chief at Foxfire, while also leading trail rides, offering horseback riding lessons, working toward her bronze medal in dressage, herding cats, and optimistically starting far more plants in her garden than she can feasibly care for. After leaving her public accounting career to run Foxfire Farm full time, Shari knew she wanted to be involved in a work that combined her love for nature, farming, and working with horses. Out of that, she created the Foxfire Farm Horse & Farm Camp. Shari is passionate about giving children space to connect with nature, animals, each other, and themselves, allowing them the opportunity to find a more fulfilling and peaceful life.
Christopher Bryant co-owns Foxfire Farm with Shari and loves farming cat cuddles, being a full-time dad, putting his CrossFit WODs to use lifting heavy things, and fixing the machinery Shari inevitably accidentally breaks. Chris retired in November of 2023 from 20 years of service in the United States Air Force and greets each day on the farm with excitement and anticipation. He loves any of the activities on the farm that allow him to be the social butterfly that he is. Chris enjoys fitness, snowboarding, golf, and collecting more horses than Shari.
