Working Together for Local Agriculture
The MD & VA Farm Directory does not exist in a vacuum. Supporting local agriculture takes a network of organizations, businesses, and individuals who share a commitment to keeping farming alive in Maryland and Virginia. We are proud to work alongside partners who bring value to both farms and the communities they serve.
Who We Partner With
Our partnerships span a range of organizations connected to local food and agriculture. These include farmers markets and cooperatives that help small farms reach customers, agricultural associations that advocate for farming communities, local tourism boards that promote agritourism as a way to experience the region, and businesses that provide products and services to farm operations.
We also work with individual farms that want to take an active role in growing the directory. Farm owners who claim their listings, provide updated information, and share the directory with their customers are partners in the truest sense — they help us keep the resource accurate and useful for everyone.
Partnership Opportunities
We are always open to new partnerships that align with our mission of connecting people with local farms. If your organization supports agriculture, local food, agritourism, or rural communities in Maryland or Virginia, there are several ways we can work together:
Cross-promotion: We feature your organization in our directory and communications, and you share the directory with your network. This is especially effective for farmers markets, agricultural nonprofits, and tourism organizations that already serve audiences interested in local farms.
Data sharing: If your organization maintains a list of farms, markets, or agritourism destinations, we can work together to ensure our directory is as complete and accurate as possible. Better data means a better experience for everyone.
Sponsored content: Partners can sponsor seasonal guides, farm spotlights, or resource pages within the directory. This puts your brand in front of a highly engaged audience of people who care about local food and farming.
