The Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation (MALPF) was created in 1977 by the
Maryland General Assembly as an agency of the Maryland Department of Agriculture and is governed by Agriculture Article, §2-501-2-515 of the Annotated Code of Maryland. MALPF partners with county governments to purchase agricultural land preservation easements that forever restrict development on prime farmland and woodland. The Foundation’s statutory mission is to preserve productive farmland and woodland for continued production of food and fiber for the present and future citizens of the State.
