Burnt Hill Farm is 117 acres of vineyard and polyculture farmland in Clarksburg, inside the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve, purchased in 2016 and built around regenerative, animal-integrated farming rather than a single cash crop.

Damascus

Run out of the Damascus FFA grounds on Ridge Road, this Saturday market (9 a.m. to noon) leans on a rotating lineup of small local sellers — Anam Cara Egg Farm for eggs, Pheasant Hill Farm and Willowponds Hydroponics for produce, and home-based vendors like CC Hsu selling jams, jellies, and baked goods.

Dickerson

Five generations of one family have farmed this stretch of Montgomery County's Agricultural Reserve since 1907, when Edwin and Minerva Horine first worked the land. Their son Phil planted the first peach trees during the Depression; his great-grandson Gene Kingsbury later spotted a mutation on one of those trees and turned it into Kingsbury Pride, a yellow freestone peach the orchard now grows exclusively. Season opens with cherries and apricots in June, then peaches, plums, and nectarines.

Rock Hill Orchard pairs pick-your-own peaches, apples, and blackberries with something most orchards don't have: its own dairy herd.

It's one of the few pick-your-own stops in northern Montgomery County where the cows and the fruit trees share the same address.

This Mount Airy apiary has sold honey since 1996, when a graduate student's surplus turned into a business. The Poplar Springs homestead now bottles raw honey and makes beeswax candles and skincare products, and also buys and resells honey from other regional beekeepers.
