BERLIN – Maryland Lieutenant Governor and 2014 gubernatorial candidate Anthony G. Brown was stumping on the Eastern Shore last week with visits to Salisbury and Berlin to highlight a pair of agricultural success stories. Brown first visited Perdue’s corporate offices in Salisbury to celebrate the company’s recent Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. As a result of a four-year, $10.5 million renovation, Perdue’s corporate office facility in Salisbury is the first LEED platinum building on the Eastern Shore and one of just 19 LEED platinum projects in all of Maryland. LEED certification provided independent third-part verification that a building, home or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human and environmental health. On Wednesday afternoon, Brown visited the family owned and operated Chesapeake Bay Farms, the only dairy farm in Worcester County, to promote Maryland’s dairy industry and encourage Marylanders to visit rural areas of the state. Chesapeake Bay Farms, owned and operated by the Holland family for generations, runs a retail facility on Route 50 in Berlin to promote its
homemade ice creams, milk, butter and artisan cheeses, among other products. The Hollands also have the working dairy farm in Pocomoke with nearly 200 cows producing the milk it uses in its homemade products. Chesapeake Bay Farms is one of eight stops across the state on Maryland’s Ice Cream Trail and the easternmost. The eight working dairy operations on the trail, established in 2012 to promote agriculture in general and the dairy industry specifically, stretch from Berlin in the east and Washington County in the West. Visitors are provided with a passport to get stamped at each stop along the trail and can submit their completed passport on the www.marylandsbest.net website for a chance to named Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Trailblazer. First, however, the participants must answer a question specific to each dairy operation on the trail to ensure they actually visited the locations. For example, the question for Chesapeake Bay Farms is “what kind of cow produces the most milk?’ and the answer, it was learned on Wednesday, is Holstein. Brown, along with Maryland Secretary of Agriculture Buddy Hance, visited Chesapeake Bay Farms in Berlin on Wednesday and asked pointed questions about the Holland family farm operation.
