This year's Homegrown Harford commemorates the 2026 International Year of the Woman Farmer with stories about the women helping to shape the future of agriculture in Harford County. Readers will meet the three generations of women behind Daily Crisis Farm, learn how a Maryland apiary inspector and her remarkable detection dog are helping to protect honeybees, and discover local leaders preserving farmland, supporting conservation, and inspiring the next generation of agricultural professionals.

Now in its eighth year, Homegrown Harford will debut in 2026 at the county government tent at the Harford County Farm Fair, running Saturday, July 18 through Saturday, July 25, at the Equestrian Center, 608 N. Tollgate Road in Bel Air, where visitors can pick up a free copy while supplies last. Following the fair, free copies will be available at the Harford County Department of Economic Development, local libraries, and other community locations throughout the county, and online.
