Maryland Niche Meat Directory

Marylands niche meats and poultry producers and the Ag Marketing Program of the University of Maryland Extension have joined together to produce the first Maryland Niche Meats and Poultry Producers Directory.

The purpose of the directory is to help restaurants, consumers, food brokers, producers, or anyone looking to purchase the freshest, best quality farm-raised meats available directly from the Maryland farmers who raise it.

The directory is organized by product for ease of aggregating suppliers. Many producers offer multiple products. The list is always growing and expanding, so the latest listings will be available on-line at http://www.agmarketing.umd.edu/. The directory is available in pdf form at this website or a hard copy is available upon request.

For more information or to request a directory application form contact University of Maryland Marketing Specialist Ginger Myers at (301) 432-2767 or gsmyers@umd.edu.
