Brad's Farm Market

Brad's Farm Market in Harford County, Maryland started in 1992 when Brad Milton opened his two stands and rented his first farm of 17 acres. Over the years, the farm has expanded to include a market on the home farm, three satellite stands, and active participation in the Bel Air Farmers’ Market for over 22 years. Brad began farming during summers while attending college and transitioned to full-time farming after graduation. In 2000, he bought his first piece of farmland, adding a farm stand and greenhouses. Brad and his wife Karin have since grown their family and their farming operations, now managing three stands, four greenhouses, 45 employees, and four farms.

The farm raises Angus beef and pigs on two of their farms, with cattle grazing on the rolling countryside in the Deer Creek Valley. The farms also produce hay forage and grain to feed the livestock throughout the year. The beef is grass-fed and grain-finished, hormone-free, and steroid-free, while the pigs are grain-fed with no added hormones. The farm also grows a variety of fresh produce and greenhouse flowers.

Brad's Farm Market operates from mid-April to the end of October, offering a variety of CSA programs and participating in the Bel Air Farmers' Market. The farm is a proud member of the Maryland Farm Bureau and the PA Vegetable Grower’s Association. Visitors can enjoy seasonal produce and activities, but are asked to leave pets at home, with only service animals allowed.
