About Stonefarm:
Founded by Jeremiah Stone circa 1760, Stonefarm is now entering it ninth generation in the Stone family. Held in a conservation trust, the farm’s gentle rolling pastures and forest land sit in the middle of the Elk Creek Valley, with Point Lookout to the south and Iron Mountain to the north.

Theresa Stone Lazo, the 7th generation to live on the farm, and her husband Robert, live in the farmhouse built by Theresa’s great grandfather, Chrisman Stone, in 1886. The house is adorned with the family’s extensive contemporary and classical art collection, which painters and visitors are encouraged to tour!
