A Multi-Generational Farm

Wilson Dowell Farms is a 320 acre refuge in Owings, Maryland that is home to the Leavitt family. The farm has been in the Dowell-Leavitt family for more than four generations. Today, the farm is managed by Jason Leavitt and his wife, Kristen. His mother, Judy oversees day to day operations.. 

The farm is named after Jason's grandfather, Wilson Dowell Jr.. It began like most Southern Maryland farms, as a tobacco farm. While tobacco was the cash crop, Jason's grandfather always kept cattle on the farm. When the time came to transition out of tobacco, the foundation for a pasture-based livestock operation was already in place.

The most important aspect of the farm operation is growing premium quality forage. The cattle graze pasture a majority of the year. We feed hay during slow growing pasture seasons. 

Our meats are available to purchase directly from the farm, by appointment. Please contact us to schedule a time.
