Plenty to enjoy…
Read about stewards of the land, farmers and their farms, artists, entrepreneurs, agripreneurs and their bountiful products. Discover peaceful hiking trails, quiet getaway places, pick-your-own farm markets, local handcrafted beer and wine, animal sanctuaries, outdoor music and more. The Ag Reserve is an unexpected treasure...from its rich history and vast pastoral beauty along rustic roads to its lively community gatherings and artisan studio tours—it is all happening right in our own backyard.
Montgomery County Maryland’s Agricultural Reserve has been called “the country’s most successful farmland preservation program,” and the vision and work to protect it is ongoing. PLENTY’s mission is to create greater awareness, appreciation and support of this precious and rare rural legacy.
