What a Fabulous Day on the Farm!

ff 2011 crowd and house

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and helped make Saturday such a wonderful day. Great music, great food, great vendors, great location, great weather - we couldn't have asked for more!

 

We had a fun time and we hope you did too. Most exciting, this event continues to grow every year. We had over 800 people join us at Farmer Tom's to learn about - and celebrate - the importance of local farming.

How did we do?

What did you think about Farm Fest? We'd like to know! Take our survey and help make next year's Farm Fest even better.

Clean Water, Stronger Communities

1000 Friends is working this summer to understand how we can build a future for Maryland that allows us to thrive economically and environmentally.  Over the next few months, a lot of work must happen to ensure cleaner local waters. Counties are drafting plans for cleaning local rivers and streams, and at the state level there is a call for a package of solutions that will help make those plans a reality.  We need clean water in our community garden, in the streams where our dogs swim on hot days, at the beaches where our kids play on vacation. 

Why does clean water matter to you?  Write and tell us your story - friends @ friendsofmd.org!
