Meet the Farmer, Green Grocer and Buy-Local Restaurant of the Year
Margaret Tearman
Wilderness, farmland, paved land: That’s the trajectory Maryland has followed since its founding as Lord Baltimore’s colony 376 years ago. So a county that can keep its farm traditions alive does so with pride. Thus Calvert County, where 55,000 acres of land are zoned as Farm and Forest Districts, made its First Annual Sustainable Agriculture Awards this year.
Citizens voted awards in three categories: Sustainable Farmer, Green Grocer and Buy-Local Restaurant of the year.
