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.
