Get ready to celebrate #FarmersMarketWeek! Now in its 23rd year, this celebration highlights the vital role farmers markets play in the nation’s food system and in supporting small farmers, ranchers, and businesses. With over 8,000 markets across the country, interest in supporting these local and regional food communities has increased over the past few years, especially during a pandemic that shocked our supply chain. Throughout the week (August 7-13) we’ll be highlighting how farmers markets and resilient, adaptable local food systems are essential for our future. #USDAFarmersMarket #FarmersMarket #LocalFood #Market #LocalFood #Farmers #LocalMarket #LocalProduce #FarmersMarketInsp #FarmersMarketLife #FarmersMarketVendor #communityevents
