Weekend event: Farm Fest

It may be soggy now, but by Saturday it's supposed to be sunny and suitably fall-like for Farm Fest, a celebration of Maryland's agrarian heritage, with a farmer's market featuring local foods and beverages, games for kids and live music.

The afternoon event is a fund-raiser for 1000 Friends of Maryland, to underwrite the anti-sprawl group's "Keep Farmers Farming" campaign. Tickets are $25 per person in advance, $35 at the door. It's from noon to 5 p.m. at Prigel Family Creamery in Glen Arm.

About the bloggers

Tim Wheeler reports on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, he has focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.

Contributor Christy Zuccarini has been blogging about the local DIY craft scene for a year for Baltimoresun.com. She brings her pespective on all things handmade to B'More Green, where she will highlight projects you can do yourself as well as crafters who are integrating sustainable methods and materials.
