Welcome to Maryland’s Best – Maryland’s state-wide marketing organization connecting consumers to farmers. Maryland’s Best is operated by the marketing team at the Maryland Department of Agriculture. Our goal is to highlight the many diverse farmers and products we have across the state and be a one-stop shop for consumers who want to support buying local.
Maryland’s Best Producer is a
- Farmer,
- Grower, or
- Waterman
that grows, raises, or harvests raw agricultural or seafood products in the State of Maryland.
Maryland’s Best Maker is a Maryland-based food or goods manufacturer that demonstrates intent to source local ingredients and support Maryland’s Best Producers.
Maryland’s Best Promoter is a Maryland-based restaurant, retailer, or farmer markets that demonstrates intent to feature and showcase Maryland’s Best Producers and Makers.
We need YOU to make that happen!
