National Farmers Market Week: a snapshot of the celebrations captured by the media

      Posted On: September 26, 2018

The 19th annual National Farmers Market Week (Aug. 5th-11th, 2018) was celebrated coast to coast and in fabulous fashion. We had all hands on deck tracking and attending the week’s events. The resources, tools, and templates that FMC makes available to markets every year are meant to be utilized to help promote and plan for the week. Markets did just that- and both the local and national media took notice.

Below are some of the articles we tracked pertaining to NFMW. If your market and its events were picked up by the media, please feel free to contact allie@farmersmarketcoalition, and we’ll add the feature to the list.
