COME ON FARM CAMPING WITH US
Come on farm camping in the tranquil beauty of the Maryland countryside, conveniently located in Finksburg MD just 10 minutes from the heart of Westminster MD. Here you can cuddle with the cows, hang out with the hogs, and chill with the chickens. Meanwhile, we’re a family-run, working small farm, built in the 1800s, we are dedicated to improving the land, soil, plants, and wildlife, through Regenerative Agriculture with all-natural, chemical, hormone, anti-biotic, and GMO-free methods. Moreover, camping with us will be an interesting experience as we raise and breed Rare Heritage Livestock- in a conservation program to keep these genetic lines alive and diverse. Several of our breeds are listed on the Slow Foods Ark of Taste. Our farm practices invite loads of wildlife, including herons, fox, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, deer, bald eagles, red-tailed hawk, and more.
