Calvert County Farm Tour 2002

The Calvert County Department of Economic Development announced today that on July 21, 2002, the Calvert County Agriculture Commission will conduct the 5th annual Calvert County Farm Tour. Three Calvert County farms will open to the public from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This year’s farms are Pardner's Farm in Prince Frederick, Poplar's Farm in Chesapeake Beach and Wiseacres at Willow Oak Farm in Huntingtown.

Spend a day in Calvert County touring a variety of farms and learning more about Calvert’s traditional agricultural community. Visitors can purchase fruits, vegetables, baked goods, dried flowers, perennials and more. Parking is available and entertainment will be provided at each farm at various times throughout the day. No pets are allowed except seeing eye dogs.

This family event is sponsored by the Calvert County Agriculture Commission, and coordinated by the Calvert County Department of Economic Development. The Agriculture Commission conducts the Farm Tour to educate Calvert residents to a segment of the traditional farming community they might not otherwise have the opportunity to interact with.

The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners provides funding for the Farm Tour. Farm Tour brochures are available from all three Calvert County information centers (Fairview, North Beach and Solomons). Click here to view the brochure in .pdf format (Adobe Acrobat Reader required) including farm descriptions, directions and scheduled activities for each location. For more information, please contact the Calvert County Department of Economic Development at (410) 535-4583 or (301) 855-1880.
