Join us at Manor Hill Farm on Saturday, September 26th (from 12-7pm) for CORN FEST 26. It’s our annual family-friendly festival to celebrate our favorite (and most important) farm crop… our CORN! We’re planning for a day full of fun that you don’t want to miss. This free event features:
* Live Music on Two Stages *
Courtyard Stage (Mike Finazzo and John Benjamin) and Bluegrass Field Stage (Sticks & Stones and 100 Proof)
* New Release “14 Acres” (our Light Corn Lager) in cans and on draught *
* Food Trucks with tasty corn-themed specials, including Tasty Maryland, Catalyst Hot Dogs and Manor Hill Pizza Trolley *
* Schmidty’s Kettle Corn & Snacks *
* Kids Activities: Free Glitter Tattoos (12-4pm) & Free Cornelius stickers (all day) *
(please note the food trucks may close one hour before farm closes.)
Our Farm & Taproom will be open with 14 taps featuring farm-brewed beers, hard seltzer, and non-alcoholic hop water, plus multiple options in cans available to go. All seating on the Farm is first come, first served. We have indoor seating, a large covered tent, and plenty of outdoor space to spread out. There are several picnic tables in our field, but we also encourage you to bring your own chairs or even a portable (10×10) pop-up tent for shade and find your new favorite spot with friends.
Our Farm Stand (conveniently located behind the bar) is constantly evolving and is sure to have some locally produced items for sale, including staples like Manor Hill Farm Pickles, Relish, Jellies and more.
Yard Games (cornhole, bocce, etc) and balls/frisbees are welcome, but must remain in hop field and other grassy areas on the farm. They are not permitted in the paved courtyard by the Tap Room and Tent. Please note that while this is a family friendly event, children must remain under parental supervision at all times.
While visiting the farm, be sure to check out our agriculture in action. Our award-winning beers may be our most well-known agricultural product, but our 54-acre working farm has so much more to offer. In fact, the majority of our land is used for agriculture… so you can’t miss it no matter where you are on the farm!
As you enter the farm, on the right side of the driveway, you will see 14 acres of non-GMO corn. Every single beer brewed at Manor Hill uses this corn in its recipe. On the left side of the driveway as you enter you will see our 12-acre cow pasture where we host about 20-25 Black Angus Cattle on the farm from Spring to Fall (there is an additional cattle pasture behind the residence). Directly behind our Taproom, we have a coop with approximately 30 egg-laying hens. Next to our chicken coop is our goat enclosure featuring Mary and Gilbert, a mother and son set of Pygmy Goats. Last, but certainly not least, is our array of gardens on the farm that produce various vegetables, fruits, and herbs used in our beer, Trolley pizza, and at our restaurants. Informational signs on the property as well as our staff can answer any questions you have during your visit.
Note that our Pizza Trolley & other food trucks may close one hour before the farm closes. Please check back regularly as this schedule can change as the date approaches.
