In Memory of G. Laurence Moore

The founder and owner of Larriland Farm, G. Laurence “Larry” Moore, born and raised a farmer, died on Friday, June 24 2011, after a three-year bout with cancer. He was 85. He grew up on a small fruit farm where the city of Columbia is today. In the early 50’s he and his father bought a herd of dairy cows that produced milk until 1963. It was a small herd but was ranked 1^st or 2^nd in the county during the last five years of milk production. In 1966 he and his family moved to the Lisbon area of Western Howard County and there they grew blue grass sod. One night, over dinner he asked the three children that were at home, “What are you planning to do after you graduate from college?” They answered they wanted to farm! That was the birth of Larriland Farm as it is known today.

He served two terms on the Maryland Ag Commission and two terms on the Howard County Farmland Preservation Board. He also enjoyed three sports: upland game hunting, bridge and croquet. He had many good bird dogs. He always said there is nothing as pleasing as a man following his dog across the fields enjoying the fall colors and the peace and quiet of the countryside. He and his friends founded the Patuxent Croquet Club and play now on the lawns of Peachwood. He was well known around Baltimore and Howard Counties as an avid bridge player. For many years he traveled about the country competing in tournaments in both bridge and croquet. He frequently commented on how fortunate he was to have owned and lived his whole life on a farm. Above all else he loved his family and his farm. He is survived by his wife of sixty years, Nancy “Polly” Shipley Moore, four children, Nancy Lee Bellaire, Lynn Parlett Moore, Guy L. Moore, and F. Fenby Moore and eight grandchildren.
