Can you grow coffee in Maryland?

Here's why:

* Climate: Coffee plants thrive in tropical and subtropical climates with temperatures between 65-85°F. Maryland has a temperate climate with cold winters and hot, humid summers. The average annual temperature in Maryland is 55°F, which is too cold for coffee plants to survive.

* Frost: Coffee plants are extremely sensitive to frost and will die if exposed to freezing temperatures. Maryland experiences frequent frost events during the winter months.

* Sunlight: Coffee plants need at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Maryland has a lot of shade, especially during the winter months.

However, you can still enjoy coffee in Maryland!

* Grow coffee plants indoors: You can grow coffee plants indoors in a sunny spot, as long as you provide them with the right conditions (warmth, humidity, and adequate sunlight).

* Support local roasters: Maryland has several fantastic coffee roasters who source high-quality beans from all over the world.

So, while growing your own coffee beans outdoors in Maryland isn't possible, you can still enjoy a delicious cup of coffee!
