The Washington-Baltimore region, home to over 9 million residents, presents a high demand for fresh, locally sourced produce and organic farming products, supported by initiatives like the Local Food Purchase Agreement that strengthens connections between Maryland farmers and urban markets. Fort Meade’s strategic location offers agribusiness entrepreneurs access to affluent consumer markets and robust infrastructure for distribution across the Mid-Atlantic region.
