Farmers Donate Over 40,000 lbs of Food to Hurricane Relief! | MD F&H

When Hurricane Ida made landfall in the southern United States in the late summer of 2021, people around the country were stunned by the devastation it caused. At First Fruits Farm in Freeland, staff and volunteers sprang into action. While the 203-acre farm already grows fresh produce to supply food banks in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, a bumper crop resulted in having plenty to share. Word spread when First Fruits Farm partnered with Convoy of Hope to send donations southward, and other Maryland farmers joined in to help. By early September, more than 25 farms had contributed meat, dairy, and produce supplies to help those in need in Louisiana and other hurricane-affected areas. Among the many volunteers at First Fruit Farm was Maryland Secretary of Agriculture Joe Bartenfelder, who traveled from the Eastern Shore to lend a hand.
