A Taste of Arundel Grown
August 5, 2026
Homestead Gardens | Davidsonville, MD
A Taste of Arundel Grown, Arundel Ag’s signature annual event, celebrates local agriculture by showcasing food, beer, and wine primarily grown, raised, or produced in Anne Arundel County.
The event seeks to support local farmers and watermen by raising the visibility of what they produce and encouraging residents and businesses to purchase their products throughout the year.
As a bonus, it supports agriculture in Anne Arundel County by raising funds for our Agricultural Business Improvement Grant (ABIG) Program and a local chapter of Future Farmers of America (FFA).
