FRESH, DELICIOUS
LOCAL MEATS
Quality Meats from Southern Maryland Farms
We represent about 60 regional member farms who all hold the same values:
raising animals the way they were meant to live, with pasture access and no added hormones or antibiotics.
Find A Farm
Working together, we aim to create a local food economy the way it used to be 100 years ago- with fresh naturally raised meats from farmers you can trust.
Use our directory to find farm products near you: fresh meats, meat shares, charcuterie, grass-fed or organic meats, and other products. Buy direct or find your nearest retail stores.
For Farmers
The Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC) offers resources, tools, shared community equipment, and support for farmers.
We provide training, increase your marketing reach, and we even have a youth program.

Promoting Agriculture & Reading
Little Free Libraries
These SMM-branded free lending library boxes are located all around our region.
Promoting Southern Maryland Meats livestock producers in a fun and engaging way, each library provides free reading materials for the community to borrow. Through this program we hope to encourage awareness of the importance of agriculture in our everyday lives. One book example: The Girl Who Thought in Pictures: The Story of Dr. Temple Grandin who is most known for her inventions of groundbreaking improvements for farms around the globe.
