The Eater`s Guide to Local Food in Maryland
The Eater’s Guide to Local Food in Maryland Eat Local— Save the Bay By supporting locally sourced and sustainably grown foods, Buy Fresh Buy Local encourages informed decisions to eat well, preserve farmland, and support the local economy while taking steps to save a national treasure, the Chesapeake Bay. 1 Buy Fresh Buy Local is a national program that connects consumers to fresh, locally grown food through the development of a community-based network. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation continues to work as the primary coordinator for the regional sector after taking over the programs’ Chesapeake chapter in 2010. The Buy Fresh Buy Local program aims to educate the public about the importance of local and sustainable food sources within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. By providing information about events and resources such as this food guide, the campaign hopes to inform individuals about the economic and environmental benefits that local and sustainably produced goods can have within their communities. The campaign was started to create a brand that will allow consumers to identify reliable sources for consciously produced local foods and products. The mission of the program is not only to increase knowledge around the benefits of locally grown and produced goods but also to reinforce the numerous benefits that eating local can provide. Each chapter engages their community through memberships and partnerships, in this case specifically to those within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

The Buy Fresh Buy Local Chesapeake Chapter works to organize people who want to eat more sustainably, whether that be through local foods, organic produce or both. While there are a number of ways that we can help reduce the carbon footprint of our diets, supporting markets is a great first step. Here you can identify farmers’ markets near you so you can support your local farmers and build stronger communities. The farmers’ markets are typically made up of vendors, most often farmers, who set up outdoor markets to sell their produce in their local communities. They are usually open during the entire growing season, offering a variety of produce and products. Why Farmers’ Markets? When you buy from local farmers who practice sustainable agriculture you… -Get fresh, in-season food -Support farmers that work to do the right thing for the Bay -Support the local economy -Know exactly where your food comes from , who grew it and how it was grown Food in the U.S. travels an average of 1,500 miles to get to your plate. This transport uses great amounts of natural resources, contributes to pollution, as well as creating more trash with extra packaging. By purchasing produce and other locally sourced products you can reduce the footprint of your diet and produce less waste! Conventional agriculture often uses more resources than local, sustainable agriculture which can end up polluting the water, land, and air with toxic agricultural by-products. Food at the farmers market is transported shorter distances and is generally grown using methods that minimize the impact on the earth. 3 Eat Local— Save the Bay Farmers' Markets Anne Arundel County Anne Arundel County Farmers Market Druid Hill Farmers Market 275 Truman Parkway Annapolis, MD 21401 Saturdays– 7:00am to 12:00noon; Sundays-10:00am-2:00pm & Tuesdays-7:00am-1:00pm http://www.aacofarmersmarket.com/ 3100 Swann Drive Baltimore, MD 21217 (Located at Howard P.

Members pay growers in advance, and in return receive a variety of produce of the highest quality. CSAs encourage communities and let buyers see where their food comes from while making a commitment to local food and the local economy. Do you know where your food comes from? Buying local helps strengthen communities, protects natural resources, supports farm economies and promotes healthy eating! CSAs can offer the perfect inspiration for trying out a dish with a fun new ingredient! When you become a member of a CSA you are purchasing a share of the vegetables from that year’s harvest. Shares can vary by type and size in order to fit a family’s needs as well as increase the profits of the farm. CSAs typically run from June until November so be sure to look up when sign up starts for the next seasons shares. Some farmers even offer a fall and winter share which allows you to enjoy seasonal produce year round. CSAs vary greatly, with different payment plans and pick -up schedules, you are bound to find one that fits your needs! Explore your local community supported agriculture options today and sign up for a share next season! Benefits of Community Supported Agriculture: 10 Reasons to Join a CSA 1.

Animals raised on grass are healthier and spread manure naturally without burning fossil fuels. This pasture provides permanent cover reducing soil erosion and absorbing nutrients and water like a sponge. Meat, milk, and eggs from these animals are higher in nutrition with less fat, fewer calories, more omega-3 fatty acids, and more cancer fighting CLA, conjugated linoleic acid. 100% grass-fed cattle produce more nutritious meat than cattle raised on grain-fed diets. In addition to the health benefits for consumers; a grass-fed diet is also healthier for the cows. Cows are ruminants, and their digestive systems enable them to capture the nutritional value of grass which has harvested energy from the sun. When fed grains the Health Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef “There are many benefits to pasture-raised meats that are key to living and eating healthy. Grass-fed meats contain markedly less saturated fat, are much leaner, have more protein and valuable nutrients. Grass-fed is healthier for the animal too!” digestive process is altered leading to a weakened immune system, -Michael Heller, Clagett Farm shorter lifespan and ultimately a lower quality meat product. Rotational and Pasture Based Grazing will be a key component to improving soil quality, reversing climate change and saving the Chesapeake Bay. The Maryland Grazers Network is led by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and is a collaboration of CBF, the University of Maryland Extension, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Maryland farmers. The network is a program that pairs experienced beef, dairy, sheep, and poultry producers with farmers who want to learn grazing techniques. The Grazers Network Project Team provides technical assistance and includes experts in pasture and forage management, financial management, marketing, and funding resources. With collaboration from Future Harvest Chesapeake Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture, the Maryland Grazers Network provides funds for the Amazing Grazing Directory which lists over 200 grazers in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and West Virginia. The pastures of Chesapeake region farms are home to increasing numbers of livestock animals being raised the “new” old-fashioned way—outdoors, exercising naturally, and grazing on grass the way nature intended. Use the Amazing Grazing directory to help find local sources for steaks, ground beef, leg of lamb, sausage, bacon, eggs, smoked hams, handmade cheeses, Thanksgiving turkeys, Christmas geese, and more—all fresh from the pasture and direct from the farmer to you! 12 Eat Local— Save the Bay Meat and Eggs Anne Arundel County Cecil County Frederick County Grass-fed Beef, Pastured Pork and Poultry Cecilton, MD Grass-fed Beef (Certified Organic) Middletown, MD En-Tice-Ment Farm Raised Meats Bohemia Lea Farm Beef, sheep, pork and lamb Harwood, MD Country Pleasures Farm Maryland Sunrise Farm, LLC Calvert Farm Free Range Duck and Chicken Eggs Rising Sun, MD Full Cellar Farm Organic produce, grass-fed Angus beef Gambrills, MD Van Alstine Seafood & Farm Flying Plow Farm Grass-fed Beef, Pastured Chicken & Eggs Rising Sun, MD Grazy Days Family Farm Copper Penny Farm Locust Point Farm Grass-fed Beef, Pastured Chicken and Pork Elkton, MD Seafood and pasture raised meats Friendship, MD Pastured pork, beef, and turkey Hanover, MD Baltimore County Albright Farms Grass-fed Angus beef, produce/fruit Monkton, MD Ferguson Family Farm 100% GF angus, eggs, turkeys, duck, heritage Berkshire pork Parkton, MD Gunpowder Bison & Trading Co.

By supporting your local creamery, you are helping to support and encourage the use of sustainable practices that will help to reduce the impacts of agriculture and the food industry on the Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore County Prigel Family Creamery 4852 Long Green Rd, Glen Arm, MD 21057 (410) 510-7488 The Prigel family has been farming in the Long Green Valley for over 100 years and five generations. Owner Bob Prigel and his family opened the creamery to allow Bellevale Farm to be economically and environmentally sustainable as a continuing part of Long Green Valley’s agricultural heritage. Organic practices ensure the good health of our herd and the high quality of our milk. Bellevale Farms was certified organic in 2008 and their 180 milk cows graze fresh grass day and night. Charlottetown Farm Freeland, MD (443) 791-2626 Charlottetown Farm is a family-owned farm dedicated to providing fresh artisan goat milk products to farm-to-table restaurants, consumers, and retailers in the mid-Atlantic region. They believe that “...goat milk is the quintessential ‘local food’; the unique flavor and smooth, silky texture of fresh goat milk is best consumed within hours of milking, and the further the milk is transported, the more it loses those special qualities. So local is essential.” Pam and Mike Miller along with their daughter Allison provide genuine, loving care to their goats who contribute to their success with products such as chevre, ricotta, feta, yogurt, goats as well as desserts such as their famous goat cheese cheesecake, fudge, truffles and cajeta , a delicious caramel sauce.

Fresh, local, and sustainably caught seafood is available all across the watershed. And there are ever growing markets for aquaculture as well. Oyster aquaculture is the sustainable practice of farming oysters, providing food, and reducing harvesting pressures on the wild oyster population. This wild oysters are a keystone species in the Chesapeake Bay. As filter feeders, they remove sediment and algae that pollute the Bay as each adult oyster filters up to 50 gallons of water a day!

Not only is the future of our food system dependent on them but they play a vital role in sustaining the planet’s ecosystems. Beyond their monetary value for maintaining our fragile food supply, bees also make crucial contributions to ecosystems around the world. Bees are the “guardians of the food chain and the biodiversity of our species”.

Colony Collapse Disorder Bees are important to our food security and the ecosystems in which they live and travel. A disorder known as Colony Collapse threatens bees across the United States, making now a better time than ever to support local apiaries and their healthy bee colonies. “Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), which is syndrome defined as a dead colony with no adult bees or dead bee bodies but with a live queen and usually honey and immature bees still present. No scientific cause for CCD has been proven.” 17 Maryland's Local Restaurants Dining out and eating sustainable, local foods have not always gone hand in hand.
