The Clark family has been farming in Howard County since 1797. James Clark Jr. began farming Elioak Farm in 1946, after his return from WWII. Over the years, we have had a dairy herd, Angus beef cattle, sheep, hay and grain crops, and started the roadside vegetable stand that still operates today. In 2002 we open Clark's Elioak Petting Farm and began inviting the public to visit with our farm animals, take pony and hay rides, and learn about farm life. It has been a great experience and has really connected us with our community.
We love having school trips, birthday parties, and families visit our farm throughout the season. Our favorite time of the year is Springtime when we have lots of baby animals on the farm. Make sure you plan a trip in April or May to watch our baby goats run, jump, and play!
In 2004 our farm was fortunate to become the home of Cinderellaโs Pumpkins Coach from the original Enchanted Forest on Route 40 in Ellicott City (which is just 5 miles from our farm). In the years since we have moved many, many more structures from the Enchanted Forest to our farm. We couldnโt have done it without a lot of peopleโs support and help! Please check out a full list of helpers on our website!
In 2015 we hosted the 60th anniversary of the opening of the Enchanted Forest at our farm when we officially unveiled the original sign, castle, and dragon from the Route 40 location. We are so excited to continue the tradition of families visiting the attractions from the Enchanted Forest, while creating new traditions by having families also enjoy our farm animals and rides.
As a working farm we also raise and sell 100% grassfed beef, pastured pork, and all natural vegetables. You can find our products year-round in our Castle Store Farm Market, which is also the entrance to our petting farm. Although not officially certified organic, but we do not use pesticides or other chemicals. We use sustainable farming practices in order to improve the soil for the future. We are also now carrying some great locally-made products. We are so excited to help support other local small businesses like ours! Stop in today to see what's in stock!
Our family has had the opportunity and privilege to farm in Howard County for over two hundred years. And in light of the fact that the memorial stone in our front yard, placed by James Clark Jr, gives us the "etched in stone" instruction---Never Sell The Land----we hope to continue to farm here for years to come!
