About Meadowood Farm
An Old Farm Growing Something New
Meadowood Farm is a historic four-acre farmstead in Hanover, Maryland, just outside Fort Meade. As an urban farming family, we fell in love with this property because it gave us the chance to do something different while staying aligned with our values and connected to our roots. Meadowood is close to neighborhoods, connected to the community around it, and full of possibility.
Our vision for Meadowood is simple: to bring this land back into active agricultural use, grow food close to where people live, and let the farm develop thoughtfully over time.
We are just getting started.
Rooted Here Since 1887
Meadowood is part of the historic J. Warfield Farm, a property with agricultural roots that reach back generations. The farmhouse dates to 1887, and the preserved farmstead still includes several buildings that reflect the land’s working past, including the carriage house and other agricultural structures.
Today, the property is protected by a historic preservation easement intended to insulate its agricultural character and historic setting. That means there are thoughtful restrictions on development, change and growth. We intend to live within that structure and nurture growth here with great consideration for the land and the surrounding community.
We love that Meadowood already has a story. This land was a farm, and now it is growing again.
Why Meadowood?
Meadowood gives us the opportunity to bring a small working farm into the heart of a neighborhood. Here, local food can be grown close to home, neighbors can connect with the people producing it, and the farm can become part of everyday community life.
For us, that is what makes Meadowood so special. It’s historic land with a new purpose, and a farm that can grow alongside the people around it.
A Different Kind Of Farm
As farmers, we’re intentional about the land. For us, that means taking our time with Meadowood.
Our first seasons will include a pollinator meadow, beehives, chickens, fresh eggs, peppers and other seasonal crops. Cut Your Own Flowers will also be offered starting with the 2027 Market cycle.
One of the biggest lessons we have learned from farming is that good things take time. So we are growing what we know, at a pace we can manage, and allowing the farm to evolve naturally.
A Farm Inside of a Thriving Neighborhood
One of the things we love most about Meadowood is where it’s located. People can walk to the property from their homes and we invite families to come to the Warfield Sisters Market and stay awhile. We want our farm to be a place where neighbors meet neighbors, kids play, people share a meal and conversation and come back the next week knowing a few more familiar faces.
That is exactly the kind of connection we want for our community farm. We hope Meadowood becomes a place where you get to know us and begin to feel closer to the food you bring home. By spending a little time with us we hope you’ll experience the joy of watching a small working farm become part of everyday life in your neighborhood.
