Local Communities Around the Country Proclaim Farmers Market Week

National Farmers Market Week Proclamation 2021 from the USDA
Every year the US Department of Agriculture proclaims National Farmers Market Week the first week of August. Starting a few years ago, FMC started providing a proclamation template for states, counties and cities to proclaim Farmers Market Week in their local areas.
National Farmers Market Week can be a fantastic opportunity for farmers market organizations to engage with their elected officials and the proclamation process can be a great way to get their “foot in the door” and foster relationships.
