Supporting Farms, Empowering Consumers
At SMADC, we are helping farmers to help themselves in creating a sustainable future and helping the public to understand the importance of local farms to our overall economy.
SMADC’s Goals
- A market-driven and sustainable farming future
- A Maryland where farmland preservation and environmental stewardship positively impact the quality of our air and water
- To cultivate awareness among consumers and leaders of the vital role our farms play in a balanced community, safe, nutritious food and a cleaner and healthier environment
You can help us achieve our vision by connecting with local farms and supporting a local food and agriculture economy.
