Marylanders send 90% of their food dollars outside Maryland.

Imagine what it would be like if our local farmers got some of your food dollars?

Frederick Fresh Online is working to help our community have access to locally grown food while simultaneously creating solid markets for our small farmers to gradually grow their businesses.  Success will be when our local schools have access to consistent locally grown food, and when families do as well.  The more we buy local the more we will have local.  Please buy weekly from Frederick Fresh Online.

February 25, 2021:  It’s CSA week:  Dandelion and Rust Farm offering subsidized shares, Envision Conversation:  How to find local food through CSA, Farmer’s Markets and Online through FFO, Summer Creek Farm sells commercial and retail seed starter mixes, Farm to School and Blessings in a Backpack work together to get local free range eggs to families in need

Community FARE’s Farm to School Program is working with Blessings in a Backpack and Piece of Harmony farm in Myersville to send over 300 bags of locally grown lettuce to Frederick County students and their families this week.  We are looking for sweet potatoes to send home next.  We send along recipes and ideas for preparation, and educational materials about the home grown products.
