Clark's Elioak Farm is a seventh generation family farm in Ellicott City, Maryland growing chemical free vegetables, herbs and flowers, with a produce stand, a CSA and a popular petting farm.
Clark's Elioak Farm is a seventh generation family farm on 540 acres in Howard County, Maryland, where the Clark family has farmed since 1797.
Vegetables and herbs are raised without synthetic chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers, with cover crops and crop rotation keeping the soil fertile, and the whole farm is held in county or state farmland preservation.
In summer the roadside produce stand on Clarksville Pike sells the farm's seasonal vegetables and herbs, and a cut your own flower field offers zinnias, celosia, strawflowers and sunflowers. There is a CSA for regulars, and the family runs a petting farm on the same land.

It was good. The two women at the kettle corn stand were very rude to us when we asked for lemonade. Probably won't spend so much when we come back because of that. But for our daughter it's good. The horse handler is a gem.
I have been going here since my boys were small. I just took 4 adults and we had a great nostalgic time! Clarks's has added on and made many improvements to the farm, the forest areas and learning areas as well. They keep the admission price reasonable, so many have the opportunity to experience this unique blast from the past! This is in fact an exceptional learning and exploring and reminiscing space for all ages.
This is an awesome place to take toddlers. My toddler definitely enjoyed himself. We have been twice now and both times he really loved everything. Especially the hay ride! That is his favorites as he is a bit nervous around d animals right now.

Ive been taking my child here since he could walk. It's a great, affordable way to spend time outside making memories. Staff are all super kind. We especially love the little tidbits of information we get from the Rabbit keeper staff, she rocks!
Friendly staff. Fun little store and not bad prices. I was able to see The Enchanted Forest pieces that I enjoyed as a child and now the next generation got to have fun. Was even able to recreate a photo with my mom and the littles. Thank you for taking these pieces and taking such care to restore them for the new generations!
My kids had a wonderful time! They loved riding the train and feeding the rabbits, horses, pigs, and goats. It was also great to let them run around and play in the woods. We had a fun and relaxing day!
This place has such a fun, nostalgic atmosphere! It reminds me of the family attractions I loved growing up. There are so many activities to choose from, and I really appreciated that most of the add-ons are very reasonably priced. You can easily spend a few hours here without breaking the bank. It’s a great spot for families with kids of different ages, and there’s something for everyone.
We went for the wine & Baby Goats event. Highly recommend 10 out of 10. The food was good, wine was great, baby goats were amazing. Putting it on my calendar for next year. Loved walking around the farm to see the other animals. Lots of events throughout the summer for a fun, affordable outing with or without kids.
We’ve been visiting Clark's Elioak Farm every year, and it’s truly become one of our favorite family traditions. The kids always look forward to coming back, and it never disappoints. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and great with children, which makes the experience even more enjoyable from the moment you arrive. Everything about the farm feels thoughtfully designed for young kids the slides are always a big hit, and the rides are perfectly sized for little ones to enjoy safely. The petting and feeding areas are another highlight, giving kids a chance to interact with animals in a fun and hands-on way. This year, the new gem mining attraction was a huge success the kids absolutely loved it and couldn’t get enough! It’s such a charming, family-friendly place that creates lasting memories year after year. Highly recommend for anyone with young children looking for a fun and wholesome day out.
I have been here many times and it is always a fun time. There is a lot to explore and do even without paying for any of the extras. If you are coming I would pick the train or hayride as its always fun! My only complaint was finding the 'working on the farm' section, not all the employees knew where it was. I wasn't sure if the kids would enjoy it because it was listed as for young kids online but it was one of the kids favorite parts.
I just left there today my 1star was some of the staff had these little attitude when we waiting to get on the hay ride I do not like the eating area all those area need cement all that dirt around and all them kids want to do is kick the dirt up. I didn't even use the bathroom while I was out there they need to build a restroom area not no pitful port a pottys. The donuts were good I just feel more should be included in these kids field trip prices and the pumpkin area I paid for myself and to chaperone so to me I feel like both parties should be able to get a pumpkin. I had better fun at these other pumpkin patches and them animals need a good cleaning especially that pig that was sleep today his area was filthy. This emu feathers looked nasty no matter the type of feather it is.
