Farmers' Markets Offer a Taste of Summer
|
|
Summertime local flavors abound at nearby Anne Arundel County Farmers'
Markets. Customers can expect to find a wide variety of locally produced agricultural products including seasonal produce, milk, yogurt, cheese, beef, pork, chicken, eggs, baked goods, fermented foods, jams, candies, soaps, and local artists. Local Foods are fresher, and taste better than food bred to be shipped long distances with extended shelf life. These markets are coordinated by Lisa Barge, Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation.
Did you know? If every household in Maryland purchased just $12 worth of farm products for 8 weeks, over $200 million would be put back into our farmers' pockets and back in our local economy. Learn more

Preservation Maryland Announces Conference Keynote Speaker
|
|
Preservation Maryland will convene Maryland’s statewide historic preservation and smart growth conference, the "Old Line State Summit," in Frederick on Wednesday, July 24, 2019.
Topics will include placemaking, smart growth advocacy, augmented and virtual reality technologies at historic sites, real estate development, architectural documentation and cemetery documentation, engaging new visitors with Latinx history and outreach, climate change, and a tour of Frederick’s architecture.
This Year's Keynote Speaker will be Jim Lindberg, Vice President of Research and Policy for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, on "Making Preservation the New Normal: Building Systems for Reuse." Lindberg will examine the ways the goals of preservation are interconnected with those of advocates for issues like the environment, community health, and equitable development. Research across these various fields demonstrates the need to build new rules and unwind entrenched thinking on building communities. The aim to create places that are greener, healthier, and more equitable applies to urban and rural communities alike.
Join your colleagues for a plenary that will explore the National Trust’s extensive research on topics of preservation, planning, and sustainable development and explore new ways for Marylanders to approach the case for preservation.
Registration is now open.
