White Cliff Farm, owned by Wilson Freeland, a 4th
generation farmer, has been in the family since the early 1930’s.
Located along the Chesapeake Bay, the farm’s history dates to the 1700’s
and has one of the largest collections of historical barns and
outbuildings in the County. Today, fossils and colonial and Native
American artifacts are still found on the property. Don’t miss your
chance to visit this scenic historical farm and celebrate 350 years of
agriculture in Calvert County!
Due to parking restraints, participants are
required to park at Calvert Elementary School (Directions: From Route 4,
go east on Dares Beach Road (Route 402) for approximately 1 ½ miles to

provided to transport visitors to White Cliff Farm.
The 2004 Farm Tour is coordinated by the Calvert
County Department of Economic Development and the Calvert County
Agriculture Commission. The Agriculture Commission conducts the Farm
Tour to educate Calvert residents about traditional farming and to
provide the public with an opportunity to interact with the farming
community.
