With summer coming up quick and farmer markets opening up, it is a great time to discover what is in your area that is local. Buying local is a great way to support local farmers and our local economy. There is a great website (http://www.somarylandsogood.com/index.html ) that can help those who live in or around the following counties: Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George's, and Saint Mary's.
The website can help you locate farmers' markets, stores or restaurants that are selling or using local products, where farms are located and what they are growing and they let farmer's add their information to the website.
The website also contains links to hiking trails in Southern Maryland. You can explore online or they tell you where you can pick up your free guidebook. If you own horses the website offers an Equine guide. There is also a kids guide with information for teachers or educators, parents and children themselves.
With summer upon us and maybe some of us sticking closer to home, this website can provide you with some activities to do closer to your back door and find places to buy your produce which will help out local farmers.
