Eaters Acres, Maryland

We are a small vegetable, fruit and herb farm just getting started after relocating from farming in California.  Our property is an old farm that historically was primarily used for pasture.  We three different vegetable gardens, a berry patch and two small fruit orchards planted a year ago.  We also have sapling fruit trees around our fire pit which were only planted a year ago.   There are about two acres of pasture, but no animals currently grazing.  We are currently selling produce from our gardens and eggs from our free roaming chickens.

Pitch your tent near the creek in our forest or hilltop with a view of surrounding farms or in a pasture where you will wake with the morning sun.  We have various locations perfect for setting up your space for the night.  We are a small diverse vegetable, herb and fruit farm just getting started.  We also have a small flock of egg laying hens that roams the property along with three friendly barn cats and two feral cats that will keep a distance.  There are countless species of birds that can be seen around the farm as well as colorful butterflies, moths and dragon flies regularly flying about.  Campers have access to a rustic bathroom(no hot water unless you boil it) and a partial kitchen as well as a charcoal grill, community fire pit and a picnic table.  If you would like to cook onsite we have minimal amount of cookware available to use and you can buy from the farm whatever seasonal produce and/or eggs you might need.   Our farm is down the road from wineries, breweries, a tea room and various other Frederick county attractions.  There are numerous historic sites within a short drive such as Harpers Ferry and Civil War battlefields, including Gettysburg and Antietam.  We are a 15 minute drive to historic downtown Frederick, 10 minutes from the center of historic New Market while being about an hour from downtown D.C. and 45 minutes to Baltimore.  Our central location is great for site seeing around the area during the day, then you can spend the evenings relaxing around the farm. *** After a tornado that hit the farm in May, we currently only have one site available on the hilltop(picture of the hammock) and the sites in the forest are closed until we can clear them of the fallen trees.  Also, there is some space to set up near the farm buildings if that is preferred.  The hilltop has some flat areas, but there is also a good slope depending on where you set up.  This is next to a newly planted orchard, so there is also the option of some flat areas around the little fruit trees.  Plenty of space for larger groups as well, but there might not be enough flat space for more than 2 or 3 tents unless setting up around the little trees in the new orchard.  Some cars are able to drive up the hill, but be prepared to walk up from the parking space near the barns which takes 3-5 minutes.
