We are working to establish the week of August 3-9, 2025, as National Farmers Market Week to highlight the important role farmers markets play in supporting local economies, promoting healthy communities, and connecting consumers directly with farmers. This recognition aims to raise awareness about how these markets foster sustainable farming and improve food access across the country.
