America’s Farmer’s Market Celebration Begins

American Farmland Trust is holding its annual America’s Farmer’s Market Celebration (AFMC) from August 1 through September 30, 2025. Markets can join the celebration and encourage their customers to vote in support. The event is a fun celebration that helps farmers markets across the country earn national recognition and local prestige, as well as an opportunity to win part of a $15,000 prize pool: $2,500 for first, $2,000 for second, $1,500 for third, $1,250 for fourth, $1,000 for fifth-eighth, and $875 for ninth-tenth. In addition to overall winners, the AFMC also identifies the top markets in each state and in the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Pacific regions. The AFMC database and interactive map on markets.farmland.org contains more than 6,000 listings of eligible markets.
