More Than 3,600 Acres of Additional Farmland
ANNAPOLIS, MD (June 22, 2022) – The Maryland Board of Public Works approved 31 new Maryland Agricultural Preservation Foundation (MALPF) easements at their meeting on June 22.

"The farmland preserved through this program ensures these farms are protected and can continue operating as working farms," said Agriculture Secretary Joe Bartenfelder. "Fortunately, Maryland has one of the most successful agricultural land preservation programs in the country. Thanks to the easements approved today, 31 more farm families will be able to continue their legacy of providing food, fuel, and fiber to the region."
