SMADC’s purpose is to support farms and the future of agriculture in Southern Maryland. We are committed to expanding and promoting a viable and profitable agricultural farming community in Southern Maryland. While the primary focus is on the five southern Maryland counties of Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s, many of its initiatives reach statewide. SMADC provides vision, support, grants, and marketing & promotion to area farmers. As new farm economies are being formed, SMADC helps to streamline regulations and reduce obstacles.
At SMADC, we are assisting farmers in creating a profitable farming future and informing the public on the importance of local farms to our overall economy. To achieve that goal, SMADC helps connect local farmers to their consumers and protects area farmland through local land preservation efforts.
