Excerpt:
The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) announced today [November 5, 2026] that approximately $100,000 will be awarded to 11 urban farms and community gardens through the inaugural Urban Agriculture Grant Program. The funding will help urban producers grow their operations, strengthen neighborhood connections and expand access to healthy, fresh food, particularly in communities with limited access to grocery stores and local produce.
“Urban farms grow more than fresh food—they grow community,” said Maryland Department of Agriculture Secretary Kevin Atticks. “This funding will help urban producers bring more fresh, local options to their neighbors while strengthening community connections and creating opportunities to learn about agriculture.”
The Maryland General Assembly has allocated funding for the Urban Agriculture Grant Program annually through Fiscal Year 2029. The program helps new and existing urban producers enhance their communities’ access to fresh, healthy produce grown using environmentally sustainable farming practices.
Awards will support capital improvements, including cold storage, post-harvest washing and packing stations, crop protection and food safety training. These investments enable growers to reduce food loss, maintain the quality of harvested produce and strengthen their ability to serve their communities. Funding for educational materials will also help connect residents with opportunities to learn about growing food and caring for natural resources.
