Marketing laws and social media

Urban Ag home | Table of contents

Many farmers, including urban farmers, use a variety of tools, including social media, to market their farms and farm products. Be aware that there are federal and state advertising and marketing laws that do need to be followed when you’re advertising, especially if you are making any health benefit claims or someone is endorsing your product. For more information about legal considerations for direct farm marketing, see the social media section of the recorded webinars available from MidAtlantic Women in Agriculture: https://extension.umd.edu/womeninag/webinars#archivedwebinars
