Harley Farm is a 42-acre retreat nestled in the heart of Middletown Valley just west of Frederick, Maryland. Family owned and managed, our core philosophy is to let the resident animals and their owners enjoy life in a natural setting.
Featuring large rolling pastures, a wooded spring-fed stream, and an historic bank barn, Harley Farm is a quiet and peaceful place. The fields grow abundant forage in season, round bales provide free-choice hay all winter, and the barn and run-in shed provide good shelter. Our small community of helpers and boarders share our love of animals and enjoy the farm’s relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Although we no longer breed horses, Harley Farm has a special connection to Crabbet Arabians. Unlike the inbred and flighty Arabians seen in many horse shows, Crabbets are remarkably intelligent, gentle, and athletic, and have a strong bond with people. We still have a few horses for sale, including a lovely Crabbet/draft cross and an Anglo Arabian, and several Crabbets serve as family riding horses.
We also breed and sell rare and useful Cashmere goats. Recently developed to thrive in our climate, they are known for their luxurious fiber, hardy nature, and friendly personalities. The goats live with the horses and gobble up a variety of pasture weeds including wild rose, poison ivy, and honeysuckle.
What makes Harley Farm unique is its simplicity. Essentially organic since 1979, the animals live in a natural environment and the people can enjoy connecting with nature.
Foals at their mothers’ sides, goat kids in the barn — the seasons at Harley Farm are measured in new beginnings.
“I love boarding my horse here. The environment is very peaceful, and I know my horse has never been happier. Elaine and the Harley Farm team truly care about every horse on the property.”
