Prince George's County, Maryland
A growing group of small farms working together on grants, land, education, and getting fresh food to the neighbors who need it most. Convened by Sennel Gardens with Good Governance Consulting.
Why we exist
Every farm in this group was writing grant applications, chasing cold storage, and looking for land on its own. The Council puts that work in one place. We share resources, find each farm's niche, set priorities together, and let partners and funders understand what we do without having to ask.
We stay rooted and true to the earth. The grant work is what brought us together, and it stays at the center.
What we work on
Beginner farmer training, community and school farm tours, 4-H and youth partnerships, beekeeping classes, crop planning, and mental health for the people who grow our food.
Land access for small growers, keeping farm-zoned land in farming, the Prince George's Food Task Force recommendations, and getting fresh produce into school cafeterias.
One shared grant calendar. Applications written once and reused. Letters of support from member farms. Clean paper trails for every farm.
Working families need one place to buy fresh food. Farm stands, delivery, and food hubs in the neighborhoods that do not have them.
