Long, long ago, Frederick was almost exclusively a farming community. Most of the other businesses that grew up here were created to serve farmers. Frederick County is much different today, but the remaining farms still are important to our way of life. The stunning vistas and beautiful tilled fields of our farms are a large part of the reason so many of us wanted to live here — fresh air, uncrowded open spaces, friendly communities.
