Pop's Old Place
Pop's Old Place is a Century Family Farm, located in Dorchester County Maryland. We raise grass fed & finished beef, lamb, woodland pork, and free range laying hens. We sell our products directly from our farm market . This allows our farm patrons to get to know us, and our farming practices firsthand .
Our Goal:
Produce nutritious, and delicious food for our family, and our community, while focusing on soil health, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship.
Want to Know Your Farmers?
We invite you to visit the farm, observe our farming practices, and determine if ours is a farm you want to support.
We are now offering small Walking Farm Tours (30 to 45 minutes) on the First Sunday of every month (April - December), starting at 9:00 am. You can walk with us, while we do our morning chores, and learn more about our farming practices. If you would like to participate, pre-register for a tour by emailing us at PopsOldPlace@gmail.com please include in your email how many will be in your party, and which month you will be attending. Please wear comfortable shoes, that are farm appropriate, and we ask that you leave your dogs at home.
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. And I am extremely thankful for the generous financial contributions of donors, which made the filming possible.
A little over 10 years ago, Arthur, and I decided to take our farmland out of conventional crop production, and focus on raising livestock. Our original goal was to provide a wholesome source of protein to feed us, and our extended family. Over the year 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. 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 the animal, and in turn hopefully healthier for us. I wanted the ruminants to eat what ruminants are designed by nature to consume….grass & forages. My thought was always “what is best for the animal?” Fresh air, sunshine, healthy forages.
In an attempt to grow healthy forage, building up healthy soil is paramount. This documentary showcases our vision for farming in a way that works in harmony with nature. I am humbled that Dave, Tom, and Richard felt our story was one worth sharing.
