The Plenty mailbox
Plenty was conceived with the belief that folks
would enjoy reading stories about the Montgomery
County’s Agricultural Reserve and quickly come to
appreciate how special it really is. We are happy
to report that summer’s inaugural issue generated
many kind letters and we thought to share a few.
We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas
for possible stories. Send us an email and let’s
start a conversation!

My wife and I frequent Homestead Farm and found
your inaugural edition of Plenty. I read it cover to
cover the same day. What a wonderful publication!
I’m not an industry (publishing) person but love local
publications. Just wanted to share my enjoyment and
write great job and look forward to seeing more!
- Eric N. Bernard
Thank you for including us in such a beautiful maga-
zine. I am particularly grateful for your celebration of
our little secret, the Agricultural Reserve and all the
people that make it the special home it is. So wonder-
ful it is reaching such a broad audience and so appre-
ciative of such outstanding work! - Claire Howard
I was delighted to see my CSA listed, and really enjoyed
the magazine. Nice job, and beautifully put together!
I’ve lived and farmed in the Ag Reserve for more than
25 years, so seeing your publication arrive on the
scene was a welcome addition. I’ve long been an ac-
tivist and advocate for preservation of the Ag Reserve,
and have personally joined many land use struggles
that threaten it. - Melane Kinney Hoffmann,
Hidden Ridge Farm
I love your magazine. I picked up the last copy at
Whole Foods a few weeks ago and read every word!
I teach third grade at Bullis School in Potomac, MD
and am developing a social studies curriculum that
incorporates the MoCoAg Reserve. I want my students
to get outside as much as possible to connect with
nature, and I want them to learn about agriculture in
their own community. - Kendall Strickler
Thank you for your encouragement!
