Maryland Century Farms Program

Maryland's Century Farm Program was established in 1994 by former Governor William Donald Schaefer with assistance from the Maryland Department of Agriculture Secretary Lewis Riley. The purpose of the program is to honor families whose farms have been in the same family for at least 100 years and continue to be productive.

Century Farm honorees have played a significant role in making agriculture the leading industry in Maryland, since they, along with all of Maryland's farmers, continue to be the backbone of the state's economy. By maintaining economically viable agriculture, Century farmers are also preserving productive farmland and the environment as true stewards of the land, one generation after another. The impact of their legacy is dramatic.

The Maryland Department of Agriculture is grateful to them and is also committed to working with the entire farm community to maintain viable food and fiber industries for Maryland's future.
