Brick House Springs

Tucked away in the rolling farmlands of Howard County, MD
are the natural springs of Brick House Farm.

    The first known use of the natural springs found on this land dates back to the early 1700's when the first English settlers arrived.  Undoubtedly, the local Native Americans had been using it for decades, perhaps centuries before, and for good reason......



    The natural spring water originates from one of the highest quality bedrock aquifers in the State of Maryland, the Cockeysville Marble. This calcium-rich marble is capable of storing and transmitting vast amounts of pure, fresh water though naturally created fractures and solution cavities.  The contact of highly productive water bearing zones, with surrounding less permeable bedrock, restricts flow of ground water within the aquifer and forces the water up through fractures to the land surface forming the crystal clear spring source.  Today the spring water is drawn directly from the same source known to those early Americans.
