Short hikers will be dropped off at the Monocacy Aqueduct parking lot. From there, hikers will walk out on top of the aqueduct (mile 42.19) where hikers will view the mouth of the Monocacy River. From there, they will walk down the towpath to the site of a waste weir (mile 39.17). From there, hikers will cross the canal and follow a path up the hillside to a field. At the field, hikers will turn right following the path and then turn left walking over to the Calleva Farm buildings and the barn.
As hikers arrive, they will be invited to ride in a tractor pulled wagon for a tour of the farm. Riders will stop at the site of what was once the White’s Ford Fort. From the earthworks views of the C&O Canal, White’s Ford, White’s Farm and the Blue Ridge Mountains can be seen.
As hikers finish up with the farm tour, they will have a non-alcoholic social period at the barn. The farm cannot allow outside guests to bring alcohol onto the farm and the farm does not serve alcohol. Dinner will be at 4:00 pm. Children 2 and under are free. The dinner will be prepared by the farm’s fantastic chef who will serve a smattering of fresh options, many of which come directly from the farm. Dinner will be fajitas with chicken and beef options as well as a vegetarian option.
The farm would like to have an estimate of the number of attendees for the dinner two weeks in advance with the final number one week in advance so the chef can prepare adequately.
Bus cost included in dinner reservation.
