Query Mill Farm
Darnestown, MD
In loving memory of Mark Israel, Farmer at Query Mill Farm -
Mark Israel, dear friend and farmer passed away on Nov 16, 2024. Mark lived a full life - dedicated to his family, friends, civil rights, community building, activism, nature, music and of course, his passion for farming. Mark was one of Community FarmShare's earliest enthusiasts who loved to grow vegetables sought and enjoyed by the community... special requests were heartily welcomed and were always harvested with great care. Mark farmed and ran his CSA for 40 years and then added on growing for Community FarmShare in 2021, planting and harvesting veggies for the community living at Tobytown, just down the street from his farm. He was greatly loved by all who shared his path.
