Grass-Fed Beef in Maryland: Where to Buy

Maryland's Western Maryland, Frederick County, and Eastern Shore regions have a strong agricultural tradition and a growing grass-fed beef sector. The Baltimore-Washington corridor offers some of the best natural food retail access on the East Coast, with multiple Whole Foods, MOM's Organic Market, and independent co-ops. Several Maryland farms participate in CSA and farmers market programs that connect directly with consumers in the metro areas. Dirty Dog Farm, a New York-based direct-to-consumer operation, includes Maryland in its weekly Northeast delivery route.
