WINTER CROP HOUSE
Frequently Asked Questions:
Where is the Winter Crop House, and why can't I find the address
on your website?
The Winter Crop House is located centrally in Anne Arundel County in
Annapolis. We do not publish the address for the privacy and security of
our guests. If you will be visiting the Winter Crop House, we will provide
you with directions. The house sits on 3 acres of wooded privacy.
Why does the winter crop house only offer winter time crops?
The home is used the rest of the year by the Naval academy alumni and
families due to its close proximity to downtown Annapolis, the Naval
Academy and the Navy Football Stadium.
What is the difference between a hosted and private weekend?
A hosted weekend is what we call our "Meet some new friends Crop."
We provide food, classes, and do all the prep and cleanup for you.
Participants register on an individual basis.
A private weekend is for a group of friends who would like to have the
home to themselves. We will mark the weekend you selected as
"RESERVED" once we receive your deposit.

No pets and No smoking. Also, please don't get too loud. If there are
any complaints from the neighbors, we have the right to ask you to leave
and we require an age minimum of 15.

You can bring any food or beverages of your choice and feel free to
cook OR dine/order out at one of the local restaurants or eateries OR
even have delivered. We suggest at least one night in downtown
Annapolis for some fine seafood dining. You will find numerous fliers and
menus for local eateries in the house.
What if there is a big snowstorm and I can't get there?
If it is a winter storm and the major roads are closed, we will refund your
money. There is a snow plow that is contracted to come and plow the
driveway for the Winter Crop House while the city of Annapolis will be
plowing the public roads in the area.
