Celebrated a fantastic day in Frederick County with National Association of Counties (NACo), touring District Farms, Prospect Point Brewing, and Stone Pillar Farm! Each stop was a chance to highlight the dedication, creativity, and innovation that define our local agriculture.

We proudly showcased our Agricultural Innovation Grant program — recently honored with a NACo Achievement Award — which continues to support the growth and future of Frederick County’s ag community. Proud of the work happening here and excited for what’s ahead! 🌾🍻🌱

📣 We’re celebrating! 🎉

Frederick County has just surpassed 79,000 acres of permanently preserved land! With the closing of the 70-acre DeWitt easement in the Maryland Agriculture Land Preservation Foundation (MALPF) program, Frederick County has nearly reached the halfway mark to our goal of permanently protecting 160,000 acres.

Cheers to all the farmers, partners, and community members that have gotten us this far! Onward to 160,000 acres!

It was a beautiful day for the Soil Smart Farm Tour to four farms in Frederick County! This annual event brings together farmers, organizations, and legislators to highlight conservation practices, and challenges local farmers face on a daily basis. The stops:

📍Stone Pillar Farm
📍Little Creek Farm
📍Damazo Farm
📍South Mountain Creamery

Our favorite part of the day was seeing four Ag Innovation Grant projects and hearing how instrumental this program has been to help our farmers become more efficient and profitable. Thanks to all who partnered, donated and hosted!
