For the Baxter family of Georgetown, integrity is the cornerstone of the farm.
Each growing season, the Delmarva Peninsula transforms. From Wilmington to Cape Charles, fields of corn, soybeans, and wheat rise from the earth, stretching across the landscape like a living patchwork. It may seem almost magical, but it’s the result of tireless work by the region’s farmers.
Though they make up less than one percent of the U.S. population, these farmers help feed the world, often without recognition or thanks. That’s why, every season, we shine a spotlight on their stories through our ongoing series, Farming Our Future. It’s our way of introducing you to the people behind the harvest and honoring the legacy they’re planting for generations to come.
Since the 1930's, the Jones Family Farm in Massey, Maryland has been the epitome of a generational farm.
