The American Farmland Trust (www.farmland.org) is running their contest again to recognize the most popular farm markets in the USA.
Last year, Chestertown came in second best in Maryland – thanks to plenty of votes made through John Hanley, who brought his laptop and used the town’s specially arranged wifi connection to go online and vote right at the market. Talbot County boasts three great farmers’ markets. Cast your vote!
