The Baltimore County Department of Economic and Workforce Development is committed to creating new opportunities and expanding the Value Added-Agriculture (VAA), Agritourism, and Farm-Based Craft Alcohol Production industries within Baltimore County. In mid-2023 Grow & Fortify, LLC and Cultivate + Craft, LLC were engaged to conduct a regulatory and policy scan of these three agricultural sectors.
To address these challenges and leverage opportunities, our approach involved in-depth research encompassing the regulations, policies, challenges, and opportunities within the VAA, Agritourism, and Farm-Based Craft Alcohol Production industries. Our research involved a comprehensive analysis of Baltimore County’s regulatory landscape, comparing it with similar jurisdictions within Maryland and other states.
