2024–25 Farm Fresh Foxies season

The 2024–25 Farm Fresh Foxies season was the third season of the Farm Fresh Foxies in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL). On October 31, 2024, Benson Bocboc was named the team's interim head coach, replacing Shota Sato. On May 6, 2025, Alessandro Lodi replaced Bocboc in a more permanent role.

Despite notably acquiring Angelique Dionela and Rachel Daquis, the Foxies had a middling All-Filipino Conference, going 5–6 with 15 points, finishing sixth in the preliminary round. In the qualifying round, Farm Fresh fell to the Akari Chargers in five sets and were sent to the play-in tournament. Unfortunately, the team's downfall continued as they lost both matches and didn't make the final round.[1]

Ahead of the preseason PVL on Tour, Farm Fresh continued to bolster its lineup with Frances Molina, Ria Meneses, and Des Clemente-de Guzman all joining the team. During the tournament, the team produced better results by going 3–2 in the prelims, earning nine points along the way, and beating the Capital1 Solar Spikers in straight sets to earn a berth into the final round. The team faced against perennial contenders Creamline Cool Smashers where they fell in a sweep.[2]

The team was invited to take part in the following Invitational Conference to take up the slot vacated by the Kurashiki Ablaze, but instead gave it to sister team Zus Coffee Thunderbelles, who accepted it.[3]

For the Reinforced Conference, Farm Fresh signed Belgian player Helene Rousseaux as their foreign guest player.[4][5] With a 7–1 record, the Foxies tied with the Zus Coffee Thunderbelles for the best record in the prelims, but with 21 points over Zus Coffee's 20, the team claimed the first seed in the final round. Unfortunately, the team wasn't able to continue the momentum, as they were eliminated in straight sets by eight-seeded Akari in the quarterfinals.[6][7]
