Harmony, MarylandHarmony is a small town in Maryland, USA. It is little more than an intersection of routes 16 and 578 near the Choptank River on Maryland's eastern shore. There is a small country store with one gas pump, a church, a local produce stand, and lots of farmland. Many of the farmers in the area are of German descent as can be seen in last names such as Kraus, Steenken, and Worm. The soil is sandy and requires irrigation, unlike many farms in nearby Talbot County. There are many cash crops grown such as sweet corn, cantaloupes, tomatoes, squash, etc... There are quite a few migrant camps for Mexican workers who help with the crops in the summer. Most farms also have chicken houses as a second means of income.
