It’s time to get ready for National Farmers Market Week! Now in its 23rd year, National Farmers Market Week (NFMW) is an annual celebration that highlights the vital role farmers markets play in the nation’s food system. Amidst global change, it is now more important than ever to showcase the importance of farmers markets in communities!
This year’s NFMW celebration will run August 7th – 13th, 2022, and as always, presents a unique opportunity to showcase the value of farmers markets to your customers, communities, local leaders, and legislators. As hubs for connection and community resilience, farmers markets have particularly risen to the occasion this year by providing a necessary sense of unity and stability during a time of great uncertainty. Farmers markets don’t just happen, and the hard work of farmers market operators should be recognized within our network, and be shared far and wide.
