..... it can become your friend to the point that it might be interested
in what you are doing and maybe if it is a female it might have a
litter kits around your property. Mice, crickets, grasshoppers, berries,
earthworms, and other small things make up the majority of their
diet.

I was growing trees in a small plot in Ohio and for some reason a red fox
used to come and watch me work from the edge of the forest. I think it
was laughing at me most of the time.

Fox are intelligent and curious creatures and you are lucky to have one pick
you for its studies. As long as nobody has chickens or feeds their pets outdoors
around you you should have no problems.
