This is a harvest update that goes out about once a week during the growing season: late May – early November. Sign up for our e-newsletter ( click here). The telephone recording and this website are up-dated throughout the day, and everyday, as needed. Please call or check our website the day you are coming, just before leaving your home, to find out what’s available that day and to avoid disappointment. Sometimes the demand may deplete the supply of certain fruits and vegetables during a particular ripening season. Weather conditions and customer demand determine the supply of our fruits and vegetables. Many of our crops are in need of replacement on new ground. Apple orchards need replacement every 25-30 years. Peach orchards need replacement every 15-20 years. This farm, The Fine Farm, will allow for replacement of apple and peach orchards, expansion of existing crops, and better crop rotation. In July, 2018, we purchased another farm, one half mile east of Larriland, on Florence Road. Pumpkins do best with a 5 year crop rotation for improved disease control. Adding 35 acres of crop ground allows us to do a better job with crop rotation for pumpkins. This farm, The Moore Farm, will grow pumpkins for picking on weekends in October. In March 2013, we purchased a farm, one mile north of Larriland Farm, on Route 94, Woodbine Road.

The address is 2415 Woodbine Rd, Woodbine, MD 21797. Our farm is half way between Baltimore and Frederick, just south of the little town of Lisbon, MD. The farm is 3 miles south of 1-70 (Exit 73) on Rt. We are located in the central part of Maryland, in western Howard County. To keep the farm healthy and safe we use Integrated Pest Management and Best Management Practices. We consider the soil and the plant material to be our most valuable resources. We strive to grow top quality fruits and vegetables for you to pick your own or purchase in our farm market.
