Opportunity for Maryland Farmers, Seafood Producers, and Processors to Connect with Buyers

The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) will host the Maryland’s Best Expo on Tuesday, January 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis. Returning for its 21st year the Maryland’s Best Expo provides an opportunity for Maryland farmers, seafood producers, and processors to connect with buyers from grocery retailers, restaurants, schools, food distributors, and other venues.

Over the past two decades, MDA’s Marketing Program, Maryland’s Best, has promoted our state’s agricultural and seafood products, and expanded markets for our farmers and producers.

The 2024 Maryland's Best Expo attracted more than 400 attendees.

Participants included farmers, producers, watermen, aquaculturists, processors, grocery store retailers, restaurants, schools, institutions, distributors, economic development officials, University of Maryland Extension (UME) agents, and regional agricultural marketing officials.

Due to popular demand, this year’s event will again take place at the Akerson Tower located at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, 550 Taylor Avenue, Annapolis. Registration is required for producers and buyers.
