Owl’s Nest Farm is a worker-owned cooperative vegetable farm located at 2612 Ritchie Marlboro Road in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Founded in 2016, the farm cultivates approximately five acres of diverse vegetables, culinary herbs, fruits, and flowers using sustainable agricultural practices. The farm grows seasonal produce including tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, carrots, kale, lettuce, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and other specialty vegetables. Its fields are managed according to Certified Naturally Grown standards, with crop rotation, cover crops, soil testing, and organically approved growing methods. Owl’s Nest Farm offers a Community Supported Agriculture program with weekly and biweekly vegetable shares. Members collect freshly harvested produce at designated pickup locations in Upper Marlboro, Washington, D.C., and North Brentwood, Maryland. The farm also offers a winter CSA featuring leafy greens, root vegetables, potatoes, cabbage, and other seasonal crops. Customers can purchase Owl’s Nest produce directly at the Petworth Community Market and Bloomingdale Farmers Market in Washington, D.C. Its flexible Market CSA program allows subscribers to prepay for produce and choose what they want from the farm's market stands. In addition to serving households, Owl’s Nest Farm supplies produce to restaurants and wholesale customers. Optional CSA add-ons from neighboring farms may include eggs, mushrooms, meat, grains, and other locally produced foods. As a worker-owned cooperative, Owl’s Nest emphasizes environmental stewardship, equitable food access, and strong relationships between farmers and the communities they serve. Farm visits outside scheduled CSA pickups or organized events must be arranged in advance.
