Rodgers Forge Farm Initiative: Grow It, Eat It

Grow It, Eat It

The Maryland Master Gardener program and Maryland Cooperative Extension's Home and Garden Information Center have recently started a campaign urging Maryland residents to grow more of their own food. Called Grow it, Eat it, the campaign seeks to create 1 million home vegetable gardens in the state of Maryland. Please consider registering with them to have your garden counted!

The Rodgers Forge Farm Initiative is a good vehicle to help achieve the goals of Grow it Eat it. We would love to report to the Home and Garden Information Center that Rodgers Forge has a high participation rate.

Please register your garden with the MCE and with us!

project every block

How many vegetable gardens are there in Rodgers Forge? Herb gardens? Fruit Trees? Nut Trees? How many compost piles do we have here? Or what about worm bins?

The first project of the Farm Initiative is Project Every Block which will document every garden in the Forge. Do we already have a garden on every block? Maybe we do. If so, we'd like to know. If we do not, then we'll promote that as our first project--to establish a vegetable garden on every block of the Forge!

If you have a garden, a fruit or nut tree, a compost pile or worm bin, please contact us at theforgefarmgmail.com with your details and we will update the map. Please attach any photos you may have. The more detail the better.
