Welcome!
Sharp's at Waterford Farm is a 530 acre working farm located in the western part of Howard County, family-owned and operated since 1903. We offer activities for children of all ages and adult guests.
From mid April through November, we offer a variety of educational programs and tours that are ideal for individuals and groups. We also have a 7 acre educational corn maze available every Fall.
In the Spring, our greenhouses are filled with all varieties of herbs, vegetables, and cutting garden flowers. All are grown in our farm's composted soils (made by natural means using organic production methods). Buy for your garden, your community garden or for a fundraiser.
Fall ushers in an exciting season, highlighted by hayrides to our acres of field grown pumpkins. Our country store is overflowing with fall decorations grown on our farm, jams, jellies, local honey, apples, cider, crafts, mums, fall vegetables and so much more. Visit the farm animals, take a nature walk, see the observation bee hives or make a scarecrow. There's plenty to do down on the farm.
We offer birthday parties, group parties, private hayrides and campfires, 8 months of the year!
We have been hosting visitors for over 25 years and we hope you will visit with us this year!
