Kinder Farm Park is located in central Anne Arundel County, Maryland within close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay.  The park is on 288 acres and was purchased by the county in 1979 from the original owners, the Kinder Family, who operated a typical Maryland farm from 1898 to the late 1970’s when it was no longer farmed.  The farm was primarily operated as a cattle farm after World War II.  The county believed the farm could be restored as it had been in the 1930’s and it has been designed to represent a 1930’s depression era farm.

The purpose of the Friends Group is to support the Farm Park with funding and to conduct volunteer activities to highlight a typical working farm set in Maryland during the 1930’s.  Due to the unique nature of Kinder Farm Park, the Kinder Friends Group is unique in both the activities it supports as well as the causes for which it seeks funding. The region clearly is well served by having such a Farm Park open to both county and non-county visitors.
