SUMMARY:TOPP Field Walk at Condor Farms
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a field walk at Condor Farms! Condor Farms is a 10-acre\, veteran owner\, diversified farm in Central Maryland\, raising fine wool sheep\, hazelnuts\, and cut-flowers. Owner Sabina grazes 15 sheep across 2.5 acres of pasture and within her 1.5-acre hazelnut orchard. She has planted 104 hazelnut trees (five varieties) and collaborates with Rodale’s Perennial Systems Scientist to track Japanese beetle pressure and identify the most resilient cultivars. Her goals include eventually selling her Maryland-grown\, organic hazelnuts and processing them for a Maryland-grown hazelnut spread. \nSabina also manages three acres as cut flowers and founded the Central Maryland Flower Collective\, a network of specialty cut flower farms that work together to bring locally grown blooms to customers across Maryland and the D.C. region. This cooperative has proven profitable in its first year and serves as a successful example of shared capacity and collaboration. \nNow\, coming into her third season\, Sabina’s farm emphasizes dual-purpose design on limited acreage. Her remaining acres are focused on soil building primarily using cover crops. \nCome learn about the possibilities of on small\, diversified farms!
