Shopping at farmers markets is one of the best ways to support farms, farmers and local economies. When you buy delicious and fresh fruit, vegetables and more from your local farmers market, you are making healthy and community friendly choices.
The America’s Favorite Farmers Markets™ contest is a project of the American Farmland Trust. The contest is designed to raise national awareness about the importance of supporting fresh food from local farms and farmers. Market shoppers will vote to support their favorite farmers market starting June 1 until midnight on August 31, 2010. People can vote for as many participating farmers markets as they choose, but can only vote for each market once.
At the end of the contest, one small, medium, large, and a new category, boutique, farmers market will win the title of “America’s Favorite Farmers Market” for 2010. The reward for the winning market in each category will be a shipment of No Farms No Food® tote bags, along with other prizes including free printing services from igreenprint and free graphic design services from Virginia based design firm, SQN Communications. The categories are based on the number of vendors the farmers market has. The four categories are Boutique – 15 or fewer vendors, Small 16 – 30 vendors, Medium, 31 – 55 vendors, and Large, more than 56 vendors.
