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
