About Little Cove Farm:
Little Cove Farm is 50 acres of rolling farmland complete with
fenced pastures, unfenced forest, flat lands, and deep
ravines. It is a waterfront farm with 1,000 feet along both
Little Cove and Norris Camp Cove off Saint Leonard Creek.
The property has been known as Little Cove Farm for many
years, and is located in an area which boasts the best results
of Maryland State and Calvert County farmland preservation
programs. The farm is found in increasingly hard-to-find,
beautiful, open countryside. The area is definitive horse
country, rich with stables producing fine warmbloods. As
visitors leave the county road and approach the new
building that houses the stables and indoor arena, they first
see the old, restored tobacco barn, giving evidence of the
farm’s heritage. As they reach the parking area, they can see
the considerable size of the just-completed facility, which
overlooks an outdoor arena and rolling pastures. From here,
the owners’ dream of this farm as an ideal place to enjoy
horses can be readily seen.
Little Cove Farm is in Chesapeake Bay country, 44 miles south
of the Capital Beltway, using Maryland Route 4. The farm is 50
miles from Reagan National Airport, and 64 miles from
Baltimore/Washington Airport.
