Your donations will support the work of MCA, a non-profit working to preserve and promote Montgomery County's 93,000 acre Ag Reserve. MCA works tirelessly to support and expand Montgomery County's sustainable, family farms.
MCA happily announces that the 2010 Royce Hanson Award goes to... Tony Cohen! Tony is an historian, author, and explorer of the American past. His love of history has led him to embark on two historic expeditions retracing routes of the Underground Railroad; the first in 1996 from Maryland to Amherstburg, Ontario and again in 1998 from Alabama to Canada, by foot, boat and rail along wilderness trails and waterways. 2011 will bring his third and final expedition as he follows the route of his great-great grand uncle who fled slavery in Savannah, GA for freedom in Canada in 1849. This journey will be chronicled in a documentary, Patrick & Me, to be released nationwide in 2013. Read more about Tony and Button Farm CSA in the Reserve.
