Our Story

Idlewilde Farm is a small, peaceful and quiet, working farm that we've set up as a retreat for veterans and a petting farm for day care/school field trips, individual family visits and children's parties. - Not only will the kids get to be around the animals and have fun in the large, country play area; they'll learn about the animals too. - The farm is always open to vets who just need a quiet place to come, and they can just hang out or work with the animals as they like. - Right now, we have alpaca, a couple of mini-horses (Stormy and Knox), a mini-donkey (Zander), our Steer (Jake) and two calves (Wilma and Betty), mini-goats (Batman, Ducky, Amy, Rosie, Mark, Doug, the Beatles, and more), pigs (Fern and Tammy, and some feeder pigs in another pen), emu (Emmy and Eddy), a couple of hair sheep (Baa-Baa and Sammy), rabbits, and barnyard fowl consisting of chickens, ducks, a tom-turkey (Tom-Tom), and peafowl (so far). - We’re only a short five minutes out of La Plata, fifteen minutes from Waldorf, easily reachable from all of Southern Maryland and less than 45 minutes from the beltway. With our background as a Marine and EOD family, we want to do our part. We feel that many of our veterans could really use the peaceful surroundings of Idlewilde Farm. We are not a non-profit; but, 20% of all proceeds (from the petting farm, etc.) go to a ‘wounded warrior’ charity. Hope you all enjoy our Idlewilde Farm FB page; and will enjoy the farm, itself. - Deb and Dennis Fikejs
