The Alderley Grange at the north end of Alderley Road overlooks the picturesque Hunt Valley. Everything we raise (from poultry, pork, and eggs to vegetables and herbs) is grown using sound organic principles (no chemicals, no hormones, no preventive antibiotics). Our in-season produce includes garlic, onions, heirloom tomatoes, salad greens, carrots, beets, squash, peas, beans, strawberries, herbs, and more. We are taking orders for delicious Ridley Bronze turkeys and natural pork products from pasture-raised English Large Black Hogs (weaner pigs, whole, half, or sausages and individual cuts).
Open from May-October.
