From MDFB’s Facebook: “Maryland Farm Bureau relies on the support of volunteers to staff our Dairy Bar at the Maryland State Fair – that’s why we were thrilled to have Governor Wes Moore pick up a shift and serve ice cream to fair goers!

All of the proceeds from our Dairy Bar goes to support young farmers in Maryland. Thank you Governor for taking the time to support our state’s wonderful young farmers and dairy industry!
