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 1 percent of the U.S. population, these farmers help feed the world, often without recognition or thanks. That’s why, every season, we share 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.
