Amaranth Acres is a family-owned vegetable farm and fruit orchard located in Dickerson in the agricultural reserve of Montgomery County, MD.
We grow both ethnic and native vegetables using sustainable and organic farming practices. Preserving the land for future generations is just as important to us as growing vegetables and fruits.
The vegetables and fruits are grown sustainably without pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or other chemicals. You are invited to come on the journey as we explore the fruits and vegetables that grow best on this piece of land.
Managing and operating a farm is as rewarding as it is hard. Our aim is to grow vegetables, fruits, and livestock naturally and organically. Two of our primary goals are to steward the land and to grow sustainably.
We follow the principles of organic farming and avoid using pesticides and chemicals that would take away from the natural taste of the vegetables and fruits.
We come from a long line of farmers - but on another continent. Also, we are one generation removed from farming. We remember visiting our grandparents' farms and feeling the most alive when we were there. This is our attempt to return to our roots and work our land as we do what we love most.
Fresh, organic ethnic South Asian Vegetables including Indian, Pakistan, Srilanka, Bangladesh and some Chinese vegetables are almost impossible to find in this area. Growing these vegetables and making it accesssible is one of the goals of the farm. It is a lot of hard work and the prices at which the vegetables are sold do not truly reflect the amount of time and effort that goes into growing them. The satisfaction of making high quality produce available to a broader population is what will keep us doing this every year.
You are welcome to visit Amaranth Acres and see for yourself what vegetables and fruits grow here. The farm is located on West Harris Road in Dickerson, MD, which is about 6-15 miles from Boyds,Clarksburg Germantown, Urbana and Gaithersburg.
