The MDFMA is a group comprised of hundreds of produce-growers — which specialize in such items as green beans, cantaloupes, beets, beans, sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash, watermelon, cantaloupes, strawberries, and pumpkins — from each of Maryland’s counties. Via the MDFMA website, consumers can locate farms, check harvest dates and produce-availability, and peruse seasonal events and educational programs offered by the myriad farms.

Future Harvest is comprised of Chesapeake Bay-area farmers, landowners and agricultural specialists. The group supports locally-grown food markets, sustainable farming practices such as limited pesticide use and sensitive land-cultivation, and environmental stewardship. Of note are Future Harvest’s specifically farmer-targeted programs — email alerts, newsletters, and study circles.
