Our Mission MARC is organized to enhance the rural economy and to foster conservation of agricultural and natural resources through educational and technical services for the benefit of the citizens of Maryland. What We Do 1) Educate the public in the region about agriculture. a) Promote citizen’s understanding of, and appreciation for, agricultural businesses and their impact on the lives of all people and the environment in which they live, within the focus of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. b) Help children and families of diverse backgrounds develop a personal connection to agriculture through tangible, hands-on experiences. 2) Conduct Farm Operations – that demonstrate innovations, best management practices and are supportive of the educational programs. Programs: Educating Marylanders of all ages on various agricultural topics such as farm equipment maintenance, beekeeping courses, preschool farm sprouts, summer farm camp, and much more!
