An allure of Queen Anne’s County is that the beauty of the natural landscape has withstood the test of time. Preservation efforts have ensured that approximately 70,000 acres of the natural landscape are protected. These efforts have helped to secure the long standing local agriculture industry. In fact according to state record, as of 2015, Queen Anne’s County is the top producer of corn, soybean and wheat statewide (maryland.gov).
It is no wonder that Queen Anne’s County has the distinction of being the most productive crop producing county in Mar yland. Over 18,000 acres of farmland have been preserved and there are over 1,000 farms within our region that are five acres or more! We offer a country-side get away from suburbia. Our produce is fresh and locally grown. Visit our farms to stock up on the season’s best fruits and vegetables or take an authentic farm house animal tour!
We invite you to escape the confines of your windowless office, skyscraping towers, hectic commute, and everyday scenery to experience the rural countryside with us! Tour our working landscapes to enjoy locally grown and raised products at a road-side stand or farm. Ask us about our local farmer’s markets in Kent Island and Centreville. Or for the ultimate excursion, tour our farms to pick your own!
