Clark's Elioak Farm is a historic 540-acre farm in Howard County, Maryland, with a rich farming tradition spanning seven generations. The farm is protected by farmland preservation programs, ensuring its use for agriculture. It operates as a petting zoo, offering visitors opportunities to interact with friendly animals, and is also the home of restored attractions from the former Enchanted Forest theme park. Visitors can enjoy various activities, including hayrides, pony rides, train rides (Enchanted Express Train, Cow Train), gem mining, and exploring play areas and picnic spots. The farm also features a produce stand selling locally grown, chemical-free produce. Educational tours are available for schools and groups, focusing on farming, gardening, and nursery rhymes. The farm is open seasonally, typically from late March through early November, and hosts special events throughout the year, including a popular fall pumpkin patch. The Clark family's commitment to land preservation is a core value, reflected in their motto, "Never Sell the Land."
