Pop's Old Place
Pop's Old Place is a Century Family Farm located in Dorchester County, Maryland. We raise grass-fed and finished beef, lamb, woodland pork, and free-range laying hens. We sell our products directly from our on-farm market, which allows our farm patrons to get to know us and our farming practices firsthand.
We produce nutritious and delicious food for our family and community while focusing on soil health, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship.
Pop's Old Place Documentary
Watch to learn more about our farming practices
This documentary about our farming practices has been nearly a year in the making. I am beyond privileged to have the experience of working on this film with David Harp, Tom Horton, and Richard Anderson.
Arthur and I took our farmland from conventional crop production and now focus on raising livestock. Our original goal was to provide a wholesome source of protein to feed us and our extended family. Over the years, we have expanded a bit, and we now sell our grass-fed beef, lamb, pork, honey, and eggs to the public from our On Farm Market.
We chose heritage breeds because of their ability to thrive on pasture, good mothering traits, calm demeanors, and flavorful meat. It is a simple concept in theory but more complicated in execution. I knew I wanted the animals to live in an environment that was healthiest for them and hopefully more nutritious for us. We believe that ruminants should have a diet of grasses and forages as nature intended. "What is best for the animal?" Arthur & I think it is fresh air, sunshine, healthy forages.
The documentary showcases our vision for a farm that works harmoniously with nature. I am humbled that Dave, Tom, and Richard felt our story worth sharing.
