Milburn family added to MD Agriculture Hall of Fame

Today the Milburn Family of Cecil County was inducted into the Governor's Agriculture Hall of Fame.

Governor Larry Hogan and Agriculture Secretary Joe Bartenfelder inducted the Milburn Family, as the 48th recipients of the prestigious recognition.

The family has been farming in Cecil County for more than 100 years with orchards that span more than 500 acres in Elkton — producing fruit such as apples and peaches.

"The Milburns — just like all of our farm families — are making Maryland a better place each and every day with their outstanding stewardship of the land, protection of the Bay, production of food and through their vital contributions to our economy," said Governor Hogan.
