Baltimore's 200-Acre Nonprofit Farm Appoints New Executive Director

A 200-acre nonprofit farm that plays a key role in supplying food to food-insecure individuals across the Baltimore region appointed a new executive director on Feb. 17, 2026, marking a significant leadership change for the regional organization. The leadership shift affects an operation whose land base and distribution capacity are central to local food access in and around Baltimore City.

The farm’s 200 acres form the physical backbone of the nonprofit’s work supplying fresh produce and other food resources to people facing food insecurity in the Baltimore region. That scale underpins seasonal planting, harvesting and distribution cycles that reach pantries, community programs and direct-service efforts across city neighborhoods and surrounding jurisdictions.

The appointment on Feb. 17, 2026 comes at a moment when regional food systems have been under sustained public and private scrutiny for capacity and resilience. A change at the executive director level places responsibility for the farm’s 200-acre operation and its role in the Baltimore-area food safety net in new hands, with practical implications for budgets, staffing and distribution decisions that affect residents who rely on the nonprofit’s supply.

Details about the new executive director’s background, start date and immediate priorities were not provided in the notice of the appointment; those specifics will determine how the 200-acre farm navigates planting schedules, donor relationships and service to food-insecure Baltimoreans in the months ahead. City officials, community partners and neighbors who track food access in Baltimore will now be watching how the organization translates this leadership change into on-the-ground outcomes.
