Welcome to our fifth generation, mini-valley, woodland, and rolling hills. Empty Cupboard Farm has been family owned since 1918. It is presently planted in soy and corn. Wildlife abounds, including deer, small mammals, and geese. Bald eagles and Heron even take a pond dip periodically. Woodland trails are accessible and new tree plantings can be observed. We welcome RVs under 30'. It will be too hilly for anything longer. (Be aware: inclement weather is not your friend here if your vehicle can't handle potentially slippery conditions.) Enjoy the following activities: Mountain biking, pedal only - Pond fishing. (Sorry, no swimming in the pond; but an "An open to the public", private pool is 13 miles/20min. As is the Y. Lawn games and a fire pit are available. So are the stars at night; cloud permitting. Consider the free star gazing app, SkyView Lite, even in the day and under clouds. Don't miss our stunning sunsets at the "Red Door," our entrance. Historical towns within 10 miles any direction are reached over rolling countryside. Gettysburg is less than 20 miles. Baltimore is less than an hours ride by open highway. Blue Ridge mountains 18 miles. Taneytown, 1836, has an extraordinary antique store that is a delight to browse; as well as fine dining, drive through, an open air beer garden and close by grocery stores. Homemade ice cream is found at Baugher's and Hoffmans in Westminster. Baugher's Orchard has "pick your own" available. There is a mini farm animal petting zoo at the orchard. Additional things to see: Boating in Carroll County Maryland. Local wineries Ski Liberty Carroll is a full service county whatever your needs. Check out carrollcountytourism.org to learn more No lions, tigers, and Oh my! However, be aware that small critters may try to steal your food. No recent bear sightings. Geese visit occasionally. Coyotes are seen periodically. All hunting rights are reserved for long term clientele; therefore, hiking on the farm may be curtailed if they are present during hunting season. (November- January) Consider using Sky View Lite on line to watch the sky.Welcome to our mini-valley, woodland, and rolling hills.  Empty Cupboard Farm has been family owned since 1918.

The place was BEAUTIFUL!! Very peaceful and quiet. The perfect place for a weekend getaway! Peggy is the best and sweetest host. We got there late and she still made it outside to greet us while we set up and gave us great recommendations on what to do and where to go. We got to take home some fresh chestnuts that had fallen, you could hear them fall at night which added a nice little spooky touch if you’re not used to camping. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and pretty place to set up for the weekend!

Great site and host. I loved the seclusion being at the end of the road. Fun to watch the swallows diving above the pond for insects. Those combined with local bat population made my stay virtually bug free. A 40 mile drive to nearest Metro if you are visiting DC while here. Highly recommend. I would definitely return in the future. Thank you Peggy!!!!
