the story 

In 2016, we took our passion for quality food to a new level by constructing our very own urban farm. Located in Morrell Park, in West Baltimore, the Big Kitchen Farm aims to provide fresh, wholesome ingredients to our community, while simultaneously serving as a reminder of how interconnected we are to the natural world; from the bees producing honey next to our greenhouses, to the soil covered hands of our farmer harvesting fresh vegetables. We invite you to share our bounty and experience the true meaning of farm-to-table.

Meet Our farmer

Atwater’s Big Kitchen Farm is managed by Grace Dillingham, who began her hands-on farming education in St. Mary’s Maryland in 2021.  Grace has an educational background in environmental sustainability, focusing on regenerative farming and food equity.  The BK Farm is guided by permaculture principles, practicing cover cropping, companion planting, and soil conservation methods with the goal of longevity of the land and the community for which it provides. This mission drives Grace each and every day, year-round, providing our Atwater’s locations with fresh, local, sustainable ingredients, and allowing us to provide you with delicious, healthy food.

THE FARM STAND

Our harvest, along with unique recipes, can be found at the farm stand at Atwater’s in Catonsville. The organic vegetables and herbs grown on our farm will elevate your homemade meals and cocktails to the next level. The difference is in the taste; the sweetness of a summer tomato, the spicy crunch of freshly harvested arugula, the flavors that can only be found in produce cultivated with care, on a sustainable farm.

The farm stand menu varies depending on our harvest - this fall season we will be featuring vegetables such as lettuce and peppers, as well as herbs like rosemary and oregano. Visit Atwater’s in Catonsville to see the weekly farm stand menu!
