Since 1883
The feed grows here, the herd lives here, the milk never leaves. One family, one piece of land, a hundred and forty years of dairy farming.
Summer Residency · Point of Rocks, MD
Old Line at
Rocky Point Creamery
The smoker lives at the farm all summer – Wed–Sun, 12 – 7, through September 30. Barbecue at the window, a hundred and twenty flavors of ice cream twenty steps away.
The Farm
Worth the drive on its own.
Rocky Point Creamery is a working dairy farm the same family has run since 1883 – a designated Maryland Century Farm. Get your plate at the window, then make an evening of it: picnic tables, a playground for the kids, and ice cream churned right there on the property.
The Ice Cream
120-plus homemade flavors, churned steps from the herd. Their Sweet Cream is nothing but the farm’s own milk and cream – dessert doesn’t get more local.
The Sunflowers
Two acres bloom mid-July into fall – a dollar a stem on the honor system, every dollar to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
From the Window
Real Maryland barbecue, built your way.
Pick a meat, pick your bread, pick a side – coleslaw and a pickle spear ride along on every plate.
Off the Smoker
Beef brisket smoked 12 hours over Texas oak charcoal – plus pulled pork in a vinegar-and-butter mop, black-pepper sausage, and coal-fired BBQ chicken.
Off the Grill
The Smoke Burger – smoked patty, American cheese, BBQ aioli, house pickles, smoked bacon and onion jam – and the quarter-pound Old Line Dog.
The Sides
Sweet cornbread and butter, homemade potato salad, BBQ baked beans, and creamy mac & cheese – made from scratch, same as the meat.
Up Next · October 1 Fall & Winter Residency
Come October, the smoker moves downtown.
Sandbox Brewhouse – Frederick’s family-run, woman-owned taproom on North East Street. Sandbox keeps no kitchen of its own; food trucks feed the taproom. From October 1, that kitchen is us – Wed–Sun, 12 – 9, alongside trivia nights, open mics, board games, and live music Fridays.
