The Beer Farm at Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville is pouring again for spring, turning the garden center into a backyard-style taproom with live music, rotating food trucks, and family-friendly lawn games. The outdoor setup pairs plant shopping with pints under string lights, so the nursery doubles as a weekend hangout for neighbors, families, and leashed dogs. After a winter break, the seasonal Beer Farm has picked back up with its run of weekly events and tastings.
The Beer Farm now lists seasonal hours from Wednesday through Sunday, with opening and closing times that change by day, according to The Beer Farm at Homestead Gardens. The taproom sits beside Homestead Gardens' Davidsonville retail nursery and advertises indoor and outdoor seating, beer to go, and plenty of parking for shoppers. Its contact page also notes that the taproom was scheduled to reopen earlier this month for the spring season.
What’s on tap
The seasonal setup leans into variety, with a broad, rotating selection. Eye On Annapolis reports there are about 36 craft beers, ciders, and seltzers on offer this spring. The venue's menu is similarly outlined on Untappd, which lists multiple draft and canned options and shows frequent rotation that highlights Maryland breweries and seasonal releases. Put together, the choices give the Beer Farm a "try-a-flight" feel that fits its casual, picnic-style seating.
Family and pets
Homestead Gardens promotes the Beer Farm as family-friendly, with space for kids to run on the lawn, a playground, and occasional barnyard entertainment that organizers say is geared toward younger visitors. The Beer Farm page for the garden center also notes that the site is pet-friendly and welcomes leashed dogs, so it works as an easy stop for pet owners who want to combine shopping with a relaxed drink. Staff emphasize supervision around playground areas and animals so families can enjoy the space safely.
Events and local flavor
The Beer Farm hosts weekly live music and a rotation of food trucks, and its full schedule appears on the Beer Farm's events calendar. The project grew out of a partnership between Homestead Gardens and Beer Farm, formerly Brookeville Beer Farm, and the operation emphasizes sustainable practices, using a closed-loop model where brewing byproducts support the farm, according to Beer Farm Brands. The mix of local brews, bands, and bites is intended to keep the nursery buzzing through spring and into the warmer months.
Between plant shopping and the seasonal lineup, the Beer Farm adds another layer to Homestead Gardens' spring offerings and gives locals a low-key weekend spot. Hours, weekend programming, and food-truck lineups are posted on the garden center's Beer Farm page and the Beer Farm's events calendar.
