The 16th Annual America’s Farmers Market Celebration (AFMC) will showcase the important markets that serve farmers and communities across the country. The event aims to elevate the vital role farmers markets play across the country.
America’s Farmers Market Celebration is “the only event that annually ranks the top farmers markets in the United States as voted for by the public. Since 2008, AFMC has highlighted the important role farmers markets play in communities across the country while celebrating the farmers, staff and volunteers who make them happen.”
According to AFMC, “We believe every farmer’s market in America is special in its own way. Whether large or small, urban or rural, farmer’s markets nourish communities and help local farmers, food makers and artisans thrive.”
The top five U.S. markets that rank in the “People’s Choice” category will receive cash prizes: 1st place $5,000, 2nd place $2,500, 3rd place $1,500, 4th place $750, 5th place $250 and 1st place $100 per state.
These funds are awarded to marketplaces to cover marketing, communications and other needs that will help expand the marketplace’s reach and impact.
