FROM PAGE 79 the lieutenant governor the Hollands had been in the county’s farming community for several decades. “This family has been around here for a very long time,” he said. “It’s a very old working farm family in Worcester County.” Hance told Brown the Hollands and the other family farms along Maryland’s Ice Cream Trail are familiar with each other and often interact on issues related to their operations.
“We try to pull them together once in a while because they have a lot of the same issues, even though they’re in different parts of the state.” Laura Holland told Brown the family relies in large part on state and federal grants to keep the operation up and running. The Hollands invested large start-up costs in terms of purchasing equipment, but the state and federal funding help sustain the operation. She specifically mentioned the Added Value Producer grant. “That money doesn’t help with equipment, but it does help with marketing and other parts of the operation,” she said. “To take some of your own savings and start a business like this is a huge risk, so to have that extra help is so important.” Brown said state grants for farming operations such as Chesapeake Bay Farms are meant to provide a leg-up for independent, hard-working farm families like the Hollands. “What we hope happens is creating a bridge to sustainability,” he said. “We can help create a market and get it running so you can be self-sustaining when the grants go away. You are raising and producing things that are part of the substance of life and you’re doing things that are meaningful and important.” The only brush with controversy during the otherwise feel-good stop in Berlin came when Brown was asked a pointed question about Democratic rival for governor and Attorney General of Maryland Doug Gansler’s recent remarks the Brown campaign for governor in 2014 will largely be about race. Brown responded he is running solely on his record and his 16 years of experience first in the General Assembly and later as lieutenant governor. “This campaign will be about things that matter most to all Marylanders including good schools, access to health care and jobs,” he said. “For me, that’s what this campaign is all about and we have a lot of work to do. All communities in Maryland, including the African-American community, are looking for a leader to get results.”
