Eat like a Maryland-er celebrates the many wonderful, seasonal foods available in our backyard this Thanksgiving. Maryland’s Best encourages you to buy local and enjoy the best Maryland has to offer during this holiday season!
During this time of giving thanks, we are thankful for the farmers and watermen who continue to provide food for our community. Buying locally is one of the many ways we can show our thanks and gratitude for the nourishment they provide to our families. To help with making your locally bought Thanksgiving meal easy to pull off, Maryland’s Best is partnering with farms across the state to bring you a list of places that are offering boxes with all the items you need for your Thanksgiving table. We are also providing delicious recipes featuring these fresh, local ingredients so all you have to do is don the apron. Make this a Thanksgiving to remember while supporting our Maryland farmers and enjoy like a Maryland-er!
If you’re looking for alcoholic pairings, don’t forget to check out our list of local wines, spirits or beers to add to your celebration.
