2024 Buy Local Challenge Buy Local Bucks
Join us for the Buy Local Challenge, a statewide initiative created by the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC), promoted in partnership with Maryland Department of Agriculture. The annual statewide Buy Local Challenge (BLC) encourages all Marylanders to pledge to support their local farmers and producers by eating, drinking and enjoying locally produced farm products during Buy Local Week (July 19-28, 2024).
The importance of ‘buying local’ to consumers, the economy and the environment is fundamental to SMADC’s mission to support farms, farmers and future of agriculture.
In celebration of the 2024 Maryland Buy Local Challenge (July 19-July 28th), all customers shopping with their federal nutrition benefits (SNAP/EBT/SunBucks/FMNP/eWIC-CVB) at participating Maryland Market Money farmers markets, farm stands, and CSAs across Maryland will receive an extra $5 Buy Local Bonus in addition to their Maryland Market Money match during Buy Local Week.
