ANNAPOLIS, MD (November 7, 2023) ~ On Tuesday, November 14, Maryland Public Television's (MPT) popular original series Maryland Farm & Harvest will return for its 11th season with the first of 13 new half-hour episodes. The weekly series takes viewers on a journey across the Free State, telling engaging and enlightening stories about the farms, people, and technology required to sustain and grow agriculture in Maryland.

The November 14 season premiere will feature farms and locations in Dorchester, Frederick, and Washington counties. In Dorchester County, viewers will meet third-generation farmer Darlene Goehringer at Pop's Old Place. Host Joanne Clendining will help feed the farm's unique mule-foot hogs, wrangle Randall Lineback cattle from paddock to paddock, and bottle-feed baby lambs while learning how Darlene transformed her family farm from cash crops to pastureland.

In Frederick County, viewers will meet first-generation farmer Emma Jagoz at Moon Valley Farm. Emma started her agricultural journey as an expectant mother hoping fresh veggies like arugula would help her baby's development. After blowing her grocery budget one too many times, Emma started a balcony garden on a lark. Twelve years later, Emma has grown well beyond the garden and her CSA is now responsible for feeding more than 600 families.
