Agriculture and Food Systems

Garrett County

The county is a largely rural and heavily forested county located in the mountains of western Maryland.  The 700 plus farms face unique challenges growing crops in a region with cool weather, mountainous terrain and rocky soils.  Historically the county boasted an economy based around natural resources with agriculture, forestry and mining.
