  • Welcome to Oxbow Farm!

    We offer wholesome produce, hospitality, and ecological education

Our Mission

Inspired by the Catholic Worker Movement, our mission is to offer fresh produce, hospitality, and ecological education to anyone in material or spiritual poverty. We manage our land as a practice of integral ecology, where people in can learn the satisfying work of farming and enjoy the fruits of their labor. We use organic practices to grow dozens of types of veggies and fruits, we donate a substantial portion of our food to local pantries, and we host community events to connect neighbors to one another. 

We host volunteers and interns through WOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) where people help on the farm in exchange for food, housing and education. The farm is also home to a flock chickens, a herd of milk goats, a team of oxen in training, a farm cat, and lots of wildlife. 

Our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) operates on a sliding scale, so you can opt to sponsor a share for someone in need. You can shop at our farm stand every Friday from 3pm-6pm in the barn from June-September. We also sell our produce at the Govans Farmers' Market on  5104 York Road every Wednesday 3-6pm June - September. 

We often do community potlucks in our barn and bonfires down by the pond. Get on our quarterly newsletter (sign up below or email julie@oxbowfarm.net) if you want to hear about farm news and upcoming events. You can support our mission by shopping our plant sale, visiting us at our farm stand or farmers market, joining our CSA, or coming to a community event. Donations to support our work are also very much appreciated!

We are partnering with our friends at Veteran Compost again this year to get your garden off to a great start with our plants and their compost!  We offer 100 different varieties of our favorite vegetables, flowers and herbs that we grow on our own farm. You can also order Veteran Compost products for pick up along with your plants throughout the spring planting season at sites in DC, Baltimore, Aberdeen, and our farm in Parkton.

​​Join us for a plant sale and potluck at the farm on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025!

We recommend pre-ordering because some things will likely sell out, but we will have extra plants for you to browse at the farm on Saturday, May 3rd between 3-5pm in the barn. You're invited to walk around the farm and stay for a community potluck dinner that will start at 5pm followed by a bonfire by the pond. 

Join our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)!
