About

Welcome to Through the Forest Farm

Situated through a small forest in Clarksville, Maryland, Through the Forest Farm is a small, sustainable market garden dedicated to growing exceptional organic produce and cultivating a vibrant community.

Our journey began in 2023, when we moved to Howard County, driven by a dream to build a farm that nourishes both the land and the people who gather here.

Our Vision

Our 7-acre farm is more than just a place to grow food—it’s a space to connect. We believe in the power of food to bring people together, and we welcome you to:

  • Tour the farm, see how a variety of crops are grown and processed

  • Volunteer, get your hands in the soil, and experience farm life firsthand

  • Share in farm-to-table meals, good conversation, and a few laughs

In 2024, we launched our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, and we are excited to continue growing it in 2025, expanding to 10+ members. Our focus is on producing exceptional fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers, including but not limited to:
Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Lettuce, Garlic, Onions, Potatoes, Strawberries, Herbs, Cut Flowers, Peppers, and more!

Our Farming Practices

We are committed to sustainable and ecologically friendly farming methods. Our approach includes:

  • Minimal tillage & human-powered tools to preserve soil health

  • Intensive cover cropping & crop rotation for natural resilience

  • Mulching & organic fertilizers to nourish the land

  • Encouraging beneficial insects & biodiversity to create a thriving ecosystem

Who We Are

We’re Ben & Sarah, and farming has been a passion woven through our lives for over 20 years. Our experience includes:

Through the Forest Farm is the culmination of all these experiences—a place where knowledge, passion, and purpose come together to feed our community.
