About Us
“The Aliabaad Farm was established on May 7, 2007. The term ‘Aliabaad’ is derived from ‘Ali’ – Ali’s first name – and ‘abaad’, the Persian word for ‘develop.’ Aliabaad Farm was initially located in Sharpsburg, Maryland. Ali took several agriculture classes at the University of Maryland Extension in Sharpsburg, Maryland – the Washington County Agricultural Education Center to learn more about the farming craft. Ali learned about farming practices, soil conservation and testing, and raising farm animals.
He also worked at a few farms in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, to gain hands-on experience. In 2008, Ali had a modest garden that measured 50 feet by 50 feet. He shared herbs and vegetables with family and friends while learning how to grow various produce. Six years after purchasing a former horse farm, Ali had a growing community-supported agriculture program (CSA), a produce stand, and grocery stores, and utilized his acreage. In 2013, Aliabaad Farm was named Washington County Farm of the Year and featured in multiple newspapers and magazines.
Ali took a break from farming from February 2017 until December 2021, when he became the happy owner of East Oaks Farm, a Historic property in Poolesville, the heart of agriculture reserved in Montgomery County.
