On Sunday, March 10 from 12-4pm we welcome Backwater Books back to the farm for a one-of-a-kind event geared for all ages… Books & Beers in the Barn!  Adults and children can browse the vast selection of new books, fun gifts, and more as we transform our Private Event Barn into a pop-up bookstore (with adult and children books).  Adults can enjoy a farm brewed beer (or seltzer) at the private bar while they shop.

The Farm & Taproom are open from 12-7pm. We will have 13 farm-brewed beers (+ our hard seltzer) on draught and multiple options in cans available to go.  All seating on the Farm is first come, first served.  We have indoor seating, a large covered tent, and plenty of outdoor space to spread out. 

Mr Soft Ice Cream Truck will be on site to serve the kids (and adults) and Manor Hill Trolley will be open with Neapolitan-style pizzas and more!

Backwater Books is an independent bookstore in Old Ellicott City (neighbors of Manor Hill Tavern). Started by former teachers Alli and Matt Krist in 2022, Backwater Books carries a variety of titles for young and old. We look forward to having them back on the farm!
