My work: Sugar Water Manor
Lives in Westover, Maryland
Dana bought Clifton in 2019 and developed the 2 additional farm houses into guest homes. After years of traveling the world writing about food and travel Dana and her husband decided to settle down on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. In the past almost 2 years they have acquired a barn crew of goats, ducks, chickens and more. They have also created a high producing garden and invite guests to harvest for their meals. Dana decided to open Sugar Water Manor to give others the chance to explore a farm stay or sit and do nothing at all.
