Leo and others,

Swan Harbor Farm is off Rt. 40 between Aberdeen and Havre de Grace. Take the light for Oakington Rd south from Rt. 40. Bear to the left and follow the road for about a mile to the entrance, it's signed. Drive down the entrance road and park in the lot at the end. Do not park along the road.

Good luck!
