Bird House Farm is named after Dr. Jacob Bird who lived in the home for 50 years and had a dramatic impact on the community of Sandy Spring, MD. He started Montgomery General hospital and our street, Doctor Bird Road is named in his honor. We thought it fitting to also honor his legacy in our farm name. It is important to us to preserve the history of the home and the history of our community.
