National Farmers Market Week 2010
Posted on June 4th, 2010 by admin. Filed under National Farmers Market Week.
National Farmers Market Week 2010 is August 1-7th, and it will be here before we know it!
Last year, FMC asked people to tell us why they love farmers markets. This year, we’re giving you a platform to share ideas for celebrating and communicating the benefits of farmers markets in your community/state during National Farmers Market Week.
So, how are you celebrating?
Are you hosting a ribbon-cutting? An heirloom tomato tasting? A state-wide radio campaign? A fundraiser? A raffle? A recipe contest? Are you engaging community partners? Are state agencies playing a role?
To tell us what you’ve got planned, use the ‘reply’ form below. And please, share this page with your friends!
