SMADC is the go-to resource in Southern Maryland and beyond for farmers and producers who want to increase their potential and for consumers who want to connect with local farms and food.
Our mission is to cultivate a dynamic food system that is profitable for farmers and producers, empowering communities, and environmentally sound.
We believe in developing infrastructure that supports regional food systems where all members of the community can thrive.
SMADC’s Food Access programs strengthen Southern Maryland’s food economy by supporting farmers and providing better access to fresh, local, nutritious food for residents experiencing food insecurity. These programs include the Community Fridge program, Community School Family Markets, and the Food Box Distribution program.
