75 acres hosted by Melissa L.
Originally built in 1852, this farm has been in our family for generations. The back half consists of flowing crops as far as the eye can see and the front (facing Harrisville Rd) is fenced off for livestock and has a beautiful stream running the length of the property.
Within the last two decades, the Maryland wine industry has taken off, especially in the farming areas of southern Frederick County. Wineries, and now breweries, crafting their own libations have popped up all around the farm. One of our favorites, Linganore Winery and Red Shedman Brewery, is within waking distance from the campsite, although there is no sidewalk along Glissan's Mill Road.
There are currently eight winery/breweries within a 10 min scenic farmland drive from the campsite. Most host music festivals with food trucks on the weekends that are open to the public during spring, summer, and fall months.
If winery hopping isn't your thing, the foodie in you might enjoy dinner at the Bryan Voltaggio's Volt or Family Meal located in Frederick (about a 20 min drive). If those don't interest you there are plenty of other farm to table restaurants in Frederick and lots of hiking opportunities at the historic C&O Canal and Appalachian trails (both a mere 30 mins drive to a trailhead).
Or, of course, you could just enjoy the peace and quiet of our 30 acre slice of heaven!
