With the ⁠Maryland Buy Local Challenge⁠ and our ⁠Arundel Grown Farm To Table Tasting⁠ just days away we’re excited to publish a My ArundelBiz Podcast episode featuring one of Anne Arundel County’s many farm-based businesses: ⁠Morris Hill Farm⁠.

We sat down with Dave and Vicki Haberkorn, owners of the small family farm in Tracy’s Landing, to discuss:

• Going from community farming and chicken plucking in Florida to full-time farming in southern Anne Arundel County.
• Why it’s so fulfilling to sell directly to customers all over Anne Arundel – including at the Severna Park Farmer’s Market, Honey’s Harvest Farm Farmers Market, Anne Arundel County Farmers’ Market, and Farragut Farmers Market – plus right on the farm.
• Having their eggs and chicken, respectively, on the 2022 and 2023 Arundel Grown Farm To Table Tasting menu.
• The intense planning involved in feeding and moving and raising an ever-growing number of pastured animals, then harvesting and storing their meat, year round.
• How a $1,000 Arundel Ag Mini Grant helped them pull the trigger on getting a gate to better control both animal and human traffic on the farm.
• Their growth plans and business advice for early-stage farmers, including taking advantage of resources at Arundel Ag and the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC).
• AND why they say “We couldn’t ask for a better county to be farming in.”

So tune in to learn more about – AND SEE! – a beautiful animal-filled family farm in Anne Arundel!
