Petting zoo in Ellicott City, Maryland

Welcome to Clark's Elioak Farm, a charming destination nestled in the heart of Howard County at 10500 Clarksville Pike, Ellicott City, MD 21042, United States. Our family has been farming here since 1797, and today, we proudly offer a unique blend of food, store, tourist attraction, and zoo experiences for visitors of all ages. This August, we're thrilled to announce GEM MINING MONTH, our latest and most exciting activity! Throughout the month, you can purchase a bag of sand, gems, and minerals and embark on a treasure hunt. Use the water in our sluice to wash away the sand and uncover hidden gems and minerals. Each bag of “mine rough” includes a bag to collect your treasures and an Identification Guide to help you determine your finds.
