In 2021, David and Kate built a milk processing plant on the Broom's Bloom section which produces whole, 2%, and chocolate milk; various cheeses; and ice cream mix. Broom's Bloom Dairy Store is a restaurant on the property; it sells products from other local farmers, in addition to our own dairy offerings. In addition, Broom's Bloom hosts many school and adult tours and contributes goods to numerous civic organizations. Preserved and Historical Designation Broom's Bloom and Mount Adams Farm est. 1747 - Bel Air, MD We are extremely proud that our children are the 9th generation of our family to have been born and raised on this land. Four live here full-time; one is here part-time but is employed in agriculture. All of them, whether employed full-time by Broom's Bloom or in other occupations, value their agricultural heritage and were members of 4-H when they were growing up. Obviously, in the almost 300 years Dallams and Websters have inhabited this section of Harford County, numerous family events have occurred here - some joyous, some sad.

While John Adams Webster is the only nationally prominent owner, all of our ancestors, male, and female, were solid citizens of Harford County whose numerous contributions on and off these 240 acres bettered their community in ways large and small. We have striven to continue their civic engagement, maintain our property, and build on their agricultural legacy so that farming will always be part of Harford County.
