Within Baltimore Food Makers, you will find people passionate about good food, people who want to know where their food comes from and who play a part in getting it from seed (or animal) to the table, people who are carrying on the important skills of growing and processing food for themselves and their families. We trade, barter, and share our equipment, skills, and knowledge. How does Baltimore Food Makers make food?  Gardening, canning, dehydrating, fermenting, yogurt and cheese-making, sourdough baking, home brewing, coffee-roasting, and that's just the beginning! What does Baltimore Food Makers do?
