Where we are

Cedar Lane Farms, 5145 Bicknell Road, Marbury, MD 20658. Look for the red caboose — it’s the landmark everyone uses.

When we're open

November 27, 2026 – January 2, 2027. Closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Open rain or shine.

Monday–Thursday 10:00am – 9:00pm
Friday–Sunday 9:00am – 9:00pm

What it costs

The farm is free to visit. Everything below is included at no charge — the only thing you pay admission for is Candy Cane Lane. 

Candy Cane Lane is $15 a person, age 3 and up. Under 3 come free. Your ticket includes the trail, painting an ornament, a cup of hot cocoa, and two scavenger hunts. 

Trees and anything on the shelf in the barn are priced at the barn. We take credit cards

Your farm adventure starts at the barn

That’s where tickets are sold, where the scavenger hunt sheets are, and where the cozy fire is. Whatever you came for, come in here first.

What there is to do

All of this is included in your visit at no charge:

  • Parking, right here on the farm.
  • Exploring our beautifully decorated barn, and shopping for that special gift— our candles, soaps and bath salts, baked goods, products made with honey from our own hives, and work from makers around the county.
  • The Santa obstacle course, where children train like elves.
  • The hayride around the fields, running continuously in daylight.
  • Feeding the goats, and the chickens, who are out during the day.
  • Photo spots in the barn, including the decorated trees.
  • Belle, our black lab — she’ll find you.
  • Carols by the fire — song sheets are out most evenings and one of us will get it started. Some nights a school group comes out and sings.
  • Walking the field and choosing your tree.

Come in the afternoon and you won't have to choose.

Feed the goats and take the hayride while it’s light. Walk the field and cut your tree — the field closes at dark. Then let the sun go down and walk Candy Cane Lane. One trip, the whole farm

5:45pm & 6:45pm

Carols by the fire

Most evenings. Some nights a school group joins in.

Before you come

Dress for a field. It’s a working farm — boots or old shoes, and layers. The trail runs through the woods and the ground is uneven.

Eat first, or after. We have hot cocoa and baked goods in the barn, but no hot foods.

Groups: call ahead on (240) 806-8370 — see below.

Restrooms are portable toilets on site.

Photographs. Take all the pictures you like — in the barn, by the decorated trees, and of your family cutting a tree. We just ask that the fields aren’t used for private photo sessions with props and outfits. It’s a working farm, and there are people out there with saws.

Please leave the dog(s) at home. We love them, but this is a working farm. Service animals are always welcome.

How long to allow: about ninety minutes for everything

Groups are welcome

Church groups, scout troops, school parties, a big family gathering — we’d love to have you, and weekdays are when we can give you the most attention.

Call ahead on (240) 806-8370 and we’ll make sure there’s someone to meet you and enough hot cocoa ready.
