CORDOVA, Md. – My Maryland Farmers, a consumer outreach program that educates Marylanders by showcasing the real people behind local farms, has opened registration for its Maryland Farm Tours on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. The goal of the tours is to offer farmers more visibility within their communities and a forum to connect directly with consumers.
“The Maryland Farm Tours program is designed to provide greater recognition of Maryland farms by helping our state’s farmers reach more consumers, and highlighting the positive impact their work has on the environment and the community,” said Danielle Bauer Farace, Executive Director of the Maryland Soybean Board, administrators of My Maryland Farmers. “By hosting a tour, farmers will be able to open their gates to visitors who are eager to learn more about locally grown products, engage in educational activities and hear each farmer’s unique story.”
A key motivation for the Maryland Soybean Board Directors is to encourage My Maryland
Farmers’ over 50,000 social media followers to visit local farms. The Maryland Soybean Board has invested funds to ensure this event is completely free for everyone involved. Farmers won’t incur a participation fee, and consumers can enjoy the Maryland Farm Tours without purchasing tickets.
Registration for farms must be submitted by September 8 to participate. This program is open to all farms located within Maryland only. To register, submit application here. Or, for more information, visit MarylandFarmTours.com or contact info@marylandfarmtours.com.
