This season
The farm runs a CSA, an orchard, a nursery, a garden centre and a marketplace. The directory records pick-your-own apples, mums and asters, pumpkins and Christmas trees, none of which the farm's own front page confirms.

About This Farm
Thanksgiving Farms at Adamstown was founded in 1980 when Timothea Zimmermann took one of the first business loans given to a woman in Frederick County and bought a 57-acre farm. She named it for the opportunity, and eight children worked it seven days a week.
What You Can Pick
Apples and pumpkins, plus mums, asters and Christmas trees. This comes from a directory rather than from the farm.
What Else is Available
A thriving CSA, an orchard, a nursery and garden centre, a marketplace and a gathering place. The farm's motto is "We Grow Our Own".
It runs Tippy Tuesdays on Facebook, gardening tips with Louisa.
Good to Know
No animals, service dogs only.
The farm updates Facebook and Instagram daily and points you there for what is happening.
Pro tip: the founding story is the reason to come. A 57-acre farm bought in 1980 on one of the county's first business loans to a woman, still trading forty-six years later, is a better thing to stand in than most orchards.
