When you are accessing non-SQL databases (such as VFP) you need a second line in your databases config section that specifies the data access class to use:

<add key="Northwind\Connection" value="Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=C:\VFPData\northwind.dbc;Collating  Sequence=MACHINE" />
<add key="Northwind\DataAccessClass" value="DataAccessOleDb" />

Check out the MM .NET Dev Guide topic "Specifying Data Access Classes in the Config File" for details.
