We had a great Holiday Season and thank all the visitors who came and bought Christmas trees from our farm. I also want to say a very special "THANK YOU" to Norman Cavey and Tom Ingham for all the great work they did to "light up" the Enchanted Forest attractions to get them ready for our "Illuminated Enchanted Forest Hayride." It was great fun to see all the Enchanted Forest attractions lighted up!!Also, a special thanks to Santa for visiting the farm so often this season. He delighted lots of children at the farm in December.
*********New at the farm**********
Look for our first Clark's Elioak Farm children's book.
Our
favorite goat, Eli, invites you to read this story about "Trusty the
Tractor." Trusty pulls the hayride at Clark's Elioak Farm but
dreams of doing the jobs that the bigger tractors do. One day he
gets a chance to "save the day"--but is he too little to do the big
tractor's job. Read along with Eli and see what happens on the
farm.
"Trusty the Tractor" can be purchased at our store at the farm and also by mail. Click HERE for a Order Form for the book or call 410-730-0664 or email clarkslioakfarm@hotmail.com to purchase the book.

While you are waiting for the petting farm to open up on April 1st, you can still purchase our BEEF and LAMB. Just call the farm at 410-730-0664 to purchase and pick up your meat at the farm. We have our wonderful Clark's Never Sell The Land Farm Pasture-Raised Beef. We have been raising cattle for many years, but this is the first time we are offering our grass-fed beef to our customers. Come check out the beef in our freezer....from our farm to your home. To add to your shopping experience, Naturally-Raised Lamb from our farm is now available. And take home some Bowling Green Farm Cheese. Local Howard County farmers from Bowling Green Farm are offering a variety of cheeses and spreads from their Holstein herd.
Try some of their great cheeses. (www.bowlinggreenjones.com)
Another great addition to the farm this Fall was the
Mobile Mining Experience!
Look for more opportunities for participating in this mining experience when we open next Spring.
Check out www.mobileminingexperience.com to learn more
and see a
wide variety of animals--goats,
sheep, donkeys, pigs, cows, horses, ponies, turkeys, ducks,
chickens, bunnies, and an emu. You can feed the animals and visit our
Barnyard area where you can touch and pet them. We offer
hay rides through our
farm fields and a number of play areas for the children.
Pony rides are
available all day, every day that we are open.
