Did you know that the County's diverse agricultural industry's
561 farms and 350 horticultural enterprises produce more than $243 million in
economic contribution from agricultural products and operations? The majority
of Montgomery County farms are family-run operations, many reaching back
several generations, which employ more than 10,000 residents. Of the County's
561 farms, 43 percent are farmed as a primary occupation.
Check out one of the many Montgomery County farmers markets for fresh fruits, vegetables, bedding plants, cut flowers, preserves, herbs, baked goods and more. Each week, farmers markets provide different varieties of products as they come into season.
