About

The Layton family has been a presence in Dorchester County agriculture since Joseph H. Layton, Sr. bought the original farm in 1948. In the mid-70s the next generation Joseph H. Layton Jr. and his wife Laura, continued to add to their holdings by purchasing Lazy Day Farms and turning it into a successful grain operation. It would be another Layton, returning to heed the call of succession however, to bring the idea of Layton{s Chance Winery and Vineyard to fruition.
