ANNAPOLIS, MD (November 5, 2025) ~ Annapolis, MD - The Maryland Department of Agriculture has recently announced the recipients of the Maryland Food and Agricultural Resiliency Mechanism Grant Program (MFARM). This competitive grant program aims to address food insecurity while also supporting local farmers and seafood providers.

This not only helps those who are food insecure, but also provides a market for Maryland farmers and watermen.
