Our Story

Rooted in agriculture. Built around good food. Made for gathering.

Harvest House is a farm-rooted restaurant, bar, coffee shop, and gathering space in Friendsville, Maryland, born from our love of growing food, cooking, and bringing people together.

What started with a small family farm, a passion for agriculture, and a few trays of microgreens has grown into something much bigger. Today, Harvest House brings our farm directly to the table, with fresh microgreens and produce grown right here, local ingredients from farmers and makers we love, and a menu that changes with the seasons.

Our roots in agriculture run deep. We spent years living and working in Tanzania with the Peace Corps, where we learned to cook with what was available, appreciate the connection between food and community, and see just how much a meal can bring people together. Those experiences continue to shape the way we approach food today.

At Harvest House, you’ll find everything from brunch and dinner to craft cocktails, local beer, coffee, live music, special events, and plenty of reasons to stay awhile. Our on-site grow room gives you a glimpse into where some of your food begins, while our outdoor space invites you to slow down and enjoy the evening.

We stumbled into this dream, built it from the ground up, and are excited to share it with our community.

Come hungry. Stay awhile.
