Maryland’s Best AgriTrails initiative is a partnership between the Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Funded by the Chesapeake Gateways Grant from the National Park Service, AgriTrails will attract visitors to Maryland through a series of agricultural product themed trails with linked outdoor recreation activities such as hiking, biking, and water trails. The trails will highlight Maryland agriculture and aquaculture products and businesses, share the historic and cultural stories of community members, and help participants discover new ways to get outside and explore!
In 2026, explore the three AgriTrails developed to include:
– FeBREWary and March: Sip & Shuck (formerly Shuck & Stout) which highlights breweries, wineries, and distilleries that use local ingredients alongside Maryland oysters, and will highlight winter-appropriate outdoor activities.
– Memorial Day Weekend-Labor Day: Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Trail features on-farm creameries that use locally sourced milk paired with family-friendly hikes.
– September-November: Bikes & Brews (Coming Soon!) will specifically focus on breweries using local ingredients and bike paths nearby.
