As we get ready to get a jump start on Maryland Buy Local Week (July 22-31) by celebrating all of the great producers in Anne Arundel County at our Arundel Grown Farm To Table Tasting event at Great Frogs Winery tonight, we couldn't resist re-sharing our great My ArundelBiz podcast featuring Lisa Barge, Agricultural Marketing & Development Manager at Arundel Ag.
In this ALL-AG episode, Lisa discusses:
- The origin and purpose of Maryland Buy Local Week and the Maryland Buy Local Challenge, which were created by the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission, and how the Maryland Department of Agriculture and Maryland Governor Larry Hogan have helped promote them.
- How Arundel Ag is celebrating the week and highlighting the diverse producers and products in Anne Arundel through its SOLD-OUT Arundel Grown event.
- How to use Arundel Ag's Arundel Grown Guide, plus its brand-new Arundel Grown logo, to find out where to buy products grown in or made in the county throughout the year.
- Some of the MANY benefits of buying local, from learning where your food comes from and enjoying it more to keeping more money in your community and strengthening local food supply chains.
- PLUS Lisa’s favorite local products to buy, like pickled mushrooms and Rooted hummus, and some of her favorite bites from past Arundel Grown events.
