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.
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.
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.
