The popular weekly series takes viewers on a journey across the Free State, telling engaging and enlightening stories about the farms, people, and technology required to sustain and grow agriculture in Maryland, the state’s number one commercial industry.

With introductions filmed at Church View Farm in Millersville (Anne Arundel County), the March 18 episode features the following stories:

• R F Warner Sons Grain Mill (Carroll County) – R F Warner Sons, Inc. in Lineboro has been mixing grain, vegetables, and vitamins into livestock feed for more than 90 years. Today, Allen and his wife Kate are the third generation of Warners to run the mill. Through conversations with the couple and their customers, viewers discover how the Warners’ commitment to quality and service has sustained the local mill and served its community for nearly a century. Allen and Kate are at a time in their lives when they’d like to see the mill continue with or without them at the helm. After all, they live across the street.
  

• Knightongale Farm Soybean Harvest & Agritourism (Anne Arundel County) – Between autumn colors, apple cider, and plenty of pumpkins, the fall season in Maryland is full of fun experiences. For 20 years, Joel Greenwell, Sr. of Knightongale Farm in Harwood has been a prime purveyor of these things and more during his annual Farm Festival. Over the years, the festival has grown from a small side hustle into a big business that’s essential for sustaining the 90-acre working farm and supporting local community initiatives, even as it coincides with the fall harvest. Joel’s experience serves as a shining example of a growing trend in farming and agrotourism.
  

• Farm to Skillet: Chef Shalia Coburn (Charles and Prince George’s counties) – Preparing for a private dinner party, personal chef Shalia Coburn of Chef B Meals picks up pasture-raised beef and lamb at Zekiah Farms in Waldorf before finding fresh seasonal produce at Miller Farms in Clinton.
