When people think about the “local” food movement, they might think of growing vegetables in their own garden, or perhaps becoming a member of a food co-operative, or Community Sustained Agriculture (CSA), or shopping at the local vegetable stand or farmer's market. Still, most people think of the vegetable side of their diet—maybe eggs too, but mostly vegetables as the only real way to go local.
Under a new program, the Southern Maryland Meats Program, consumers will now have the opportunity to purchase meat, including beef, lamb, and rabbit, grown in five Maryland counties (Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s).
Locally, the locations to purchase the meat will be at Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville, My Butcher and More in Annapolis and the Anne Arundel County Farmer’s Market on Riva Road at Harry Truman Parkway.
The program will kick off with an event at Homestead Gardens from 1 to 2:30 on Sunday in Davidsonville.
