Dragonfly Acres is a unique mini farmstead that aims to educate visitors and build compassion for animals through personalized interactions, events, and activities. Five acres of farmland, which is located on our family’s personal property in Odenton, allows us to offer individualized programs and events for anyone who has a love of animals, a thirst for knowledge and a want to reconnect back to nature. We invite you to our home to reset, decompress, breathe and experience the therapeutic values our animals and nature provide. Dragonfly Acres is not like all of your typical "petting zoos" and farms. We will not provide over stimulating events and activities. Our home is an oasis locally located in the middle of the hustle of life and want to share our gem with all of you!

Catering to ALL AGES 

We started rescuing farm animals back in 2017. Currently thirty-two animals call this farm ‘home’, including 3 ducks, 13 chickens, 1 horse, 1 pony, 1 donkey, 3 pigs, 5 goats,  3 bunnies and 1 tortoise. Visitors can meet each individual animal and hear their stories during a farm tour. Dragonfly Acres’ multiple program offerings, including farm days, nature playgroups, field trips, scout programs, homeschool programs, equine connection sessions, yoga and more. All of our programs are geared toward ALL AGES and ALL ABILITIES. We strive to offer a sensory friendly environment for special needs and neurodivergent families. Here at Dragonfly Acres, we are strong advocates of agricultural & environmmental education to empower everyone to make better choices, practice compassion, understand farm animal care, and develop empathy for all beings.

All proceeds from public and private events go towards our animals’ care, which can include veterinary and dental costs, medications, food, and enrichment. Remaining funds are allocated to farm maintenance and improvements. Other ways to help is by donating to our now official 501c3 non-profit, Dragonfly Acres Farm, Inc. Your donations are tax deductible and help our little farm thrive!

Since opening our farm to the public in 2022, we have welcomed several families and guests to experience and interact with our farm animals, understand them as individuals and value the sanctity they & our safe space provides.​​ Dragonfly Acres champions inclusivity and diversity for our growing community of supporters.
