Sponsorship Opportunities
The Maryland Agriculture Council invites you to partner with us as we celebrate the state’s largest industry!
Over 900 agricultural leaders and state and national lawmakers gather annually at the Council’s Taste of Maryland Agriculture Celebration. This esteemed audience provides significant leadership for the future of our diverse industry.
As this dinner is the Council’s principal fund-raiser, we are reliant on your sponsorship to provide the financial resources to accomplish the Council’s mission to promote Maryland Agriculture and educate the public on its importance through legislative communication, grants programs and publications. We request your sponsorship participation in making 2025 an historic year as we build the platform to advocate, educate and give back to our community through our interactions with Maryland legislators. The Council is fully committed to taking a proactive role to protect agriculture in Maryland.
As a sponsor, you will have the opportunity to show Maryland’s agricultural community and lawmakers your support and dedication to promoting continued growth and health of the state’s number one industry and interact with our legislators at the dinner.
Our 2026 event sponsorship opportunities will be open later this year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Susan Summers at 240.446.3601.
