Earlier this fall, on the lakeside grounds of what we thought would be Sieverding Fox Farm (36414 130th St, Dundee, MN), we found only ruins. Despite being well before pelting season, the area was in complete disuse. The two sheds were broken down and bare of any cages, the dusty breeding cards above the empty space the only reminder of what once took place there. The outdoor cages, once lined up in neat rows, were shoved tightly together and surrounded by chest-high grass.
To ensure we weren’t jumping to conclusions, we checked every other building. There were rusty boats and cars, but no evidence of an active fur farm. Though we’re glad to confirm this closure, we regret that generations of foxes were born to die here and never set free to run wild along the starlit lake.
