Calliope Organic Farm

Lisa Garfield & Patrick Buckingham

Calliope Farm is a small-scale family operated farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with 2-3 acres of organically grown fruits, vegetables, and sprouts. We primarily grow open pollinated, heirloom, and regional varieties as well as some well-adapted ethnic and exotic varieties, all chosen for qualities of flavor and nutrition, as well as for the ability to save to our own seed. Our approach to farming is based on the desire to sustain the land that sustains us. We do this by caring for and improving the soil with the use of cover crops, mineral amendments and compost. We are also home to a small flock of laying hens, two horses, 4 barn-cats, and will soon be joined by two Nubian dairy goats.
We believe passionately in the original ideals and philosophies of organic farming, and so are NOT certified organic by the USDA, but have chosen to be Certified Naturally Grown, a grassroots alternative that is truer to the needs of small, diversified, direct-market farms. such as our own.

Aaron Cooper

At our farm we deliver a weekly supply of vegetables directly to the customer's door. These are either picked during the growing season and stored, or picked fresh for delivery.

We're somewhat different from other "CSA" type farms because we offer a consistent supply of typical cooking and salad vegetables all year long --- not just during the warmer 6 months of the year. In addition, we offer the familiar warm season "Produce Stand" crops during their optimum growing seasons.

You can cut your own flowers in the fields, check out the quaint cottage store which offers everything from potted plants to scented soaps or attend one of a dozen demonstrations on lavender’s many uses in the farm’s restored nineteenth century barn.

When we established St. Brigid’s Farm in 1996, we started with 69 registered Jersey heifers. Our herd has grown to 160 head consisting of milking cows, replacement heifers, steers and veal calves. Every year we sell surplus dairy cows as well as Jersey beef and veal.

Our product is also finished on pasture (grass fed) to give it that flavor we have come to enjoy. We do not use growth hormones, growth stimulants, artificial or antibiotic feed additives.

Chesapeake Bay Farm

For three generations, the Holland family has been bringing consumers Grade "A" milk - meeting the highest quality and standards in the milk industry. In the last 20 years, large corporate mega dairies have been overwhelming the milk market and as a direct result, the small family dairy farms are almost extinct. Currently, our farm is the last remaining dairy in Worcester county.Danny and Ken Holland have adapted to changing technology on the farm. In the early days of the farm, Marion Lee (father to Ken and Grandfather to Dan) raised his herd on corn. Today, our 250 cow herd is fed by corn raised on our farm but supplemented with grazing from our lush pastures of rye and sorghum, cotton seed and other grains to meet a regimented diet created by a nutritional specialist. Our farm uses cutting edge technology such as embryo transplanting and semen importation to ensure we produce the finest offspring. We also have a technologically advanced system to allow us to milk 16 cows at a time.
