Environment
Carwood partnered with The Chesapeake Bay Foundation and Pheasants Forever to plant wildflowers & trees on the farm. We have established an additional partnership with "Ebenezer Apiary" owned and operated by Pastor Ryan Brown of New Life Community and his wife Maureen. They had 11 bee hives on the farm in 2022 and are up to 15 in 2023. Among other things the Pollinator Habitat resulting from these plantings and hives will encourage the bees to pollinate the crops and pumpkin blossoms to make our Pick Your Own Pumpkin Patch even more awesome!
