It’s Market Madness Month – Support your local farmer markets and watermen

As we head into Spring, for this month’s “Give-A-Day” back to MCBP, we encourage you to explore our watershed’s local farmer and seafood markets for your spring and summer cravings!

When possible, buying food from local sources is a great way to reduce environmental impact. Local farmers and watermen implement practices that show care and commitment to protecting our local environment while providing the community with safe and accessible food options. Our encouragement for you this month is to simply explore the local food source options around you and attempt to engage with the local farmers who may be your very own neighbor! Included below is a link to MCBP’s Living Local project – an environmental education initiative designed to educate the community about the beneficial environmental impacts of sustainable farming practices and encourage the consumption of local products. Below you will also find a list of local markets, this list is not comprehensive, and we encourage you to explore all of the potential market options near you!

Please visit: https://mdcoastalbays.org/the-programs/education/community-programs-and-resources/living-local/ to learn about five local farms and where to find their products and contact information.
