Maryland Farm & Harvest's March 9 episode features these four segments from past seasons of the series:
- Breeding Bees (Prince George's County). In this season six segment, Maryland Farm & Harvest viewers learned that Maggie Mills of Hope Honey Farm in Hyattsville isn't an ordinary beekeeper. She raises bees and bottles honey, but her specialty is breeding bees, specifically a process called grafting queens. Through the use of macrophotography, this segment delivers a unique up-close look at how a queen bee ascends to the throne, while explaining to viewers why up to one-third of the food we eat relies on healthy bee colonies. This story originally aired on November 13, 2018, and earned an Emmy® Award from the National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

- Soy to Soy Oil (Queen Anne's County). Maryland Farm & Harvest visited Coleraine Farm in Queen Anne during season four. Here, viewers met farmer Sonny Eaton and got a glimpse of his 3,000-acre farm's soybean harvest. Then viewers traveled to the Perdue Agribusiness Oil Refinery in Salisbury to see how soybeans are transformed into edible soy oil. This story originally aired on January 17, 2017.
- Farm Photographer (Harford County). During season three, Maryland Farm & Harvest profiled Edwin Remsberg, a Fallston-based photographer who captures images of agriculture and the work of farmers in Maryland and across the country. While farms can often look picture perfect, Edwin is the person who many farmers call on to capture that beauty. But, photography is not his only talent. Edwin still finds time to raise sheep on his 20-acre Harford County farm. This story originally aired on January 19, 2016.
- The Local Buy: Mushrooms (Garrett County). During this season four segment of The Local Buy, host Al Spoler visits Backbone Food Farm in Oakland where he meets Max and Katharine Dubansky. Here, Al learns about their use of draft horses in place of mechanical tractors on their farm. In this case neither one is needed, as Max shows what it takes to grow mushrooms on logs and bales of straw. Al then gets a taste of mushrooms in a cream cheese spread. The recipe is available on mpt.org/farm. This story originally aired on January 31, 2017.
The March 9 episode also includes a photo montage featuring the Maryland Farm & Harvest staff's favorite behind-the-scenes moments during eight seasons working on the show.
