Lillard and Daughters Farms

Written By Jack Perdue

Lillard and Daughters Farms, also known as LAD Farms, was a nano-brewery located in Leonardtown, Maryland. It offered locally brewed beers available on tap at select area restaurants and through keg sales. The brewery operates on a small scale typical of nano-breweries, emphasizing hands-on production and unique, limited-run beers. By supplying to local venues rather than maintaining a large taproom, LAD Farms kept its operations community-centered and small-batch focused.

LAD announced its closure in May 2026.
