Maryland's Best Producer Spotlight

Hope & Wildflowers

Hope & Wildflowers is a small, family-run rural farm stand in Oldtown, Maryland. We grow seasonal cut flowers, vegetables, herbs, and other farm products on our property, along with maintaining our own apiary for local honey and beeswax products. Our self-serve stand also serves as a place for community connection through our Little Free Library, seed library, pollinator habitat, and Joy Vase program, which provides free flower arrangements to people experiencing difficult seasons. Our goal is to provide locally grown products while creating a welcoming place that gives back to our rural community and supports pollinators, agriculture, and neighbors in need.
