The Ag Reserve: Where "Greenery" Was Hip Before Pantone Said So  

12/9/2016

This year, Pantone - world wide authority on colors - has chosen a color meant to rejuvinate the masses. It is called Greenery.

They explain the choice this way: 
"Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world. This shift is reflected by the proliferation of all things expressive of Greenery in daily lives through urban planning, architecture, lifestyle and design choices globally. Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the reassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political environment. Satisfiying our growing desire to rejuvinate and revitalize, Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose."
We could not agree more. People, particularly those in a busy metro area, need connection with greenery in its many forms: outdoor recreation, healthy local food and just a place to unplug. MCA is the tireless, award winning nonprofit on the front lines of keeping the greenery of local farms and open space thriving on metro's edge. We value your tax deductible end of year gift.

MCA is proud to announce that we have been recognized for a third time as one of the best small charities in the D.C. region by Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington. A panel of 110 expert reviewers from area foundations, corporate giving programs, and peer non-profit organizations evaluated 270 applications.

​MCA is known as an effective and innovative non-profit whose efforts to preserve and promote Montgomery County’s nationally recognized 93,000 acre Ag Reserve have brought increased public and governmental support of local food production and farmland and open space preservation. Most importantly, MCA’s efforts are putting more farmers on the ground and keeping them there.
