ESLC's LandJam Returns to Councell Farms Sept. 12, 2026
Cordova, MD - Fall is almost here, and that means it's almost time for LandJam. Eastern Shore Land Conservancy (ESLC) will host its annual LandJam on Saturday, September 12, from 1 to 5 p.m. at Councell Farms in Cordova.
LandJam is a family-friendly afternoon that celebrates the land ESLC works to protect across the Eastern Shore. The event will feature live music from Black Dog Alley and Kentavius Jones, along with ESLC's own Sam Pugh. Food will come from the Easton Lions Club, and craft brews will be served by Cult Classic Brewing.
Proceeds from the food and beverage vendors will support ESLC's land conservation work.
Families will also have access to Councell Farms' Field of Fun. It features more than 20 fall attractions and activities, along with fun facts about land conservation. Kids can feed the goats, explore the playground, and pick out a pumpkin.
There is also apple cider, a corn maze, a jumping pillow, a combine slide, and a straw maze to enjoy.
"ESLC is grateful to D&R Improvements and Councell Farms for helping us host LandJam," said ESLC President and CEO Steve Kline. "LandJam gives folks a chance to come together, have fun and learn more about the land we all share. Together, ESLC and our supporters have helped to protect more than 67,000 acres across the Eastern Shore."
D&R Improvements of Centreville is the presenting sponsor of this year's LandJam.
"ESLC's efforts to protect wetlands, farmland and forests from development have had a profound positive impact on the Chesapeake Bay," said David Dunmyer of D&R Improvements. "I'm proud to support ESLC and its mission through this sponsorship."
Online pre-registration is requested, but walk-ins are welcome. Councell Farms charges $6 per person for access to the Field of Fun, payable at the door. Children under 2 and grandparents get in free.
Free parking, bathrooms, and handwashing stations will be available. The event will only happen if the weather is clear.
