Annapolis, MD (May 10, 2023) ~ On May 10th, 2023, Maryland Department of Agriculture Secretary Kevin Atticks toured five Howard County farms to gain insight into the successes and challenges of the local farming community. Accompanying Secretary Atticks were Howard County Council member David Yungmann, staffer Cynthia Skalny, and Howard County Executive Deputy Chief of Staff Brian Shepter.
The tour began at the Howard County Soil Conservation District Office before heading over to nearby Larriland Farm. There, Secretary Atticks met with President Lynn Moore and discussed the farm's orchards and pick-your-own fruits, vegetables, and flowers. The second stop was Fine Idea Farm in Mt. Airy where they viewed a horse operation and conservation projects that benefit water quality and farm management.

The delegation then traveled to Colmont Farm for lunch and a discussion with members of the farming community before stopping at Clark's Elioak Farm in Ellicott City. This farm has been operating since 1797 and currently has a produce operation with a roadside market, Community Supported Agriculture, cut-your-own flowers, as well as a petting farm with farm animals to pet, a Fairy Forest to explore, educational tours, parties, a pumpkin patch, wagon rides and more.
The group last stopped at Manor Hill Farm for a tour of one of Maryland's largest in production on-farm breweries which also sells its own beef, fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
At the conclusion of the tour Secretary Atticks commented "Maryland has a diverse landscape which supports many specialized farms including these farms in Howard County. The county's agricultural sector is strong and varied and I am glad I had this opportunity to meet with some of the county's farmers to hear about their challenges."
