Nestled in a Tranquil Rural Setting…
The Farm is the heart of the Moonlit Acres Retreat experience. Our property is located on rural, picturesque acreage in Carroll County, MD, and is situated among the best nature has to offer. Experience wildlife, gardening, hiking, and outdoor bonfires; relax and dine with other guests, and enjoy game nights and wellness workshops. The main areas of the Farm include The Barn, which will house our gym and be our primary space for instructors to host open inclusive workshops (renovations are underway and will be completed soon – we can’t wait for you to see it!); our spacious yet cozy farmhouse kitchen for cooking workshops and a farm-to-table dining experience; and our garden where we’ll host our outdoor inclusive workshops.
- Workshops are $20 per hour, and are typically 2-3 hours long (average workshop cost is $60). This rate includes cost of equipment/activity fee, instructor fees, and Moonlit Acres staff. Please note that workshops can go up to, or over, $100, depending on the event and ticket price (i.e., an all-day trip to Hershey Park).
- Moonlit Acres Designer Experience Program: $50 per hour (See “What We Offer” on our main Programs page for more information).
Some special events may have an add on fee (event tickets, cost of food, etc).
Transportation: Transportation is limited and a separate add-on cost. Cost is negotiated individually and based on the state of Maryland mileage rate of $0.58 per mile.
