Lots of markets and orgs want to do anti-racism work, but paying people for this work is important and finding funding can be tough. There are ways to rethink existing grant opportunities and get creative about funding sources: farmersmarketcoalition.org/writing-anti-r…

In the most recent Ag Statistics numbers, it was revealed just how important farmers markets across our state are. In fact, in 2022 alone, markets across our state were visited by more than six million people! #NationalFarmersMarketWeek #NCAgriculture

The Anti-Racist Farmers Market Toolkit exists to help farmers market managers make progress toward becoming anti-racist managers of anti-racist markets. How has the toolkit supported your work as a market manager? Download it here: farmersmarketcoalition.org/the-anti-racis…

@SenAlexPadilla @SenJoniErnst Thank you for your dedication to farmers markets!

🧑‍🌾NEWS: I passed a bipartisan resolution with @SenJoniErnst to celebrate National Farmers Market Week and recognize the vital role that local farmers play in our communities! Be sure to celebrate this Farmers Market Week by visiting your local market!

Thank you for supporting our nation's farmers markets, @SecVilsack @usda!

It’s National Farmers Market Week and @USDA is recognizing the crucial role farmers markets play in our food system. Farmers markets connect producers and consumers through fresh, locally grown produce and support the health and well-being of our communities.

In 2009, six women shared a vision of connecting members of the Savannah, Georgia, community with locally grown food while addressing food access issues. This idea created the Forsyth Farmers Market. See the impact the market has had on its community: nifa.usda.gov/about-nifa/blo…
