P.A. Bowen Farmstead, Brandywine

Here at P.A. Bowen Farmstead we are dedicated to raising grass-based livestock and producing fine artisan raw cheese. Situated in the gentle hills of Maryland’s Prince George's County, our diverse multi-species farm seeks to mimic the patterns of nature with old-fashioned grazing techniques coupled with modern technologies. The different animal species work symbiotically with each other to heal and build our soil, and to produce high-quality foods that heal and nourish our bodies. Hormones, growth-enhancers, antibiotics, pesticides and herbicides are never used on P.A. Bowen Farmstead.

At P.A. Bowen Farmstead, we emphasize rotational grazing for all farm species. All animals are provided with a habitat that allows them to thrive: pigs root through the forests; broilers in their chicken tractors and hens roaming freely work over the pastures recently grazed on by our dairy herd; our beautiful Jersey cows, milked just once a day, are given new pasture twice daily. The grain mix fed to our pigs and poultry (and in very small amounts to our cows) is non-GMO and corn/soy-free, and mostly locally grown.

All products are sold in our old-fashioned on-farm store and at select local farmers markets. We offer:

Artisan raw milk cheeses

Pastured beef and veal

Pastured chicken and eggs

Pastured seasonal turkey

Free-roaming pork, including old-fashioned bacon and ham

Crafts by Maryland artisans

Books and educational materials

We encourage people to visit our farm to learn more about our operation with our fascinating guided farm tours and classes. The farm is also available for events such as fund-raisers, corporate picnics and weddings.
