ANNAPOLIS, MD (January 19, 2024) ~ Maryland Public Television's original series, Maryland Farm & Harvest, is back for its 11th season and will be featuring farms and locations in Howard County, Prince George's County, and Baltimore City in its upcoming episode premiering on Tuesday, January 23. Viewers can get a sneak peek of the episode on the series' webpage at mpt.org/farm.
The popular weekly series takes viewers on a journey across the Free State, showcasing the farms, people, and technology that are essential to sustain and grow agriculture in Maryland - the state's number one commercial industry. The show airs on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. on MPT-HD and can also be streamed online at mpt.org/livestream. For those who miss the broadcast premiere, episodes are available to view on the free PBS App and MPT's online video player. Encore broadcasts air on MPT-HD on Thursdays at 11 p.m. and Sundays at 6 a.m., as well as on MPT2/Create® on Fridays at 7:30 p.m.
The January 23 episode begins with an introduction filmed at Basil Harding Farmstead in Frederick County - part of the Peace and Plenty Rural Historic District. The episode will feature three segments highlighting different farms in Maryland.

The first segment takes viewers to Clagett Farm in Prince George's County where they will learn about regenerative agriculture techniques used to improve soil health, water conditions, and food quality both on land and in the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation's research farm in Upper Marlboro is working towards reducing sediment runoff that contributes to high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus entering the bay - threatening its delicate ecosystem.
Next up is Heron's Meadow Farm in Howard County where viewers will get an inside look into Maryland's first and only tea growing farm. Despite tea being one of the most popular beverages in the world with over 3.5 billion cups consumed daily, tea farming is a unique and challenging industry in the state. Farmers Lori and Bob Baker share their journey of trial and error as they work towards making tea farming a booming business in Maryland.
In the final segment, viewers will join host Al Spoler as he visits Gwynns Falls in Baltimore City to pick peppers with Joe Panella, owner of Ellicott City Sauce Co. Joe's "swagger sauce" is made from a variety of hot peppers including red savinos, ghost peppers, and Carolina reapers - each having held the title of hottest pepper on earth at some point. Al gets a taste of the final batch and is left gasping for air and reaching for some pineapple to cool his palate.
