Celebrating National Farmers Market Week with you ALL has been a fantastic experience! This past week was a powerful reminder of how much goes into making our markets thrive. They don't just happen; they are built and sustained by dedicated individuals.

We want to extend a special thank you to everyone who supports our mission. From the market operators working tirelessly behind the scenes to the farmers earning fair prices for their harvest, and to all of you, our community, who fill our markets with energy and life—your support is what strengthens our markets for the benefit of farmers, consumers, and communities.

Your participation during National Farmers Market Week helps us work toward our "triple bottom line": helping farmers earn a real income, providing access to fresh food, and creating welcoming community spaces for everyone. Thank you for being a part of this vital effort.

If you know me, you know I love food and farms, farmers markets and the communities they serve.

Last week was National Farmers Market Week, and I hope you're celebrating by visiting your local farmers market! I recently joined the board of Farmers Market Coalition (FMC), the only national organization dedicated entirely to farmers markets. FMC works behind the scenes to strengthen farmers markets across the United States so that they can serve as community assets, while providing real income opportunities for farmers. The organization does this by supporting the people who run those markets through training, advocacy, and resources.

As a board member, I have committed to helping raise funds for FMC. Will you contribute? Any amount helps, and if you are able to give, please put my name in the memo line so I know who to thank!

You can donate at the link in bio, and of course happy to share more about FMC if you are curious. by @fmcorg

Why Farmers Markets Matter

As National Farmers Market Week comes to a close, we’re celebrating the role farmers markets play in creating a stronger, healthier regional food system.

They help make fresh food more accessible.
Through programs including SNAP, Produce Perks, WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits, and our Family Fruit & Vegetable Coupon Program, North Union Farmers Market works to help more families and older adults access fresh, locally grown food while supporting local farmers at the same time.

They connect you directly with the people who grow your food.
North Union Farmers Market is a certified producer-only market, meaning the farmers and producers selling at our markets are the people who grow, raise, or make what they bring. You can ask questions, learn how your food was grown or produced, and know more about where it came from.

They keep local farms and communities connected.
Every market visit helps strengthen local farms, keeps more food dollars in our region, and builds relationships between farmers, food producers, and the communities they serve.

Any market operator knows that farmers markets fuel local economies, but did you know that approximately 78% of farms selling directly to customers in 2020 sold all of their directly marketed food within a 100-mile radius of the farm?

Data points like these help highlight the benefits of farmers markets to the community around you and can be great talking points during #FarmersMarketWeek! For even more facts and figures, download our NFMW Toolkit: https://loom.ly/bKXWL4w

At FMC, we know Farmers Markets Don’t Just Happen—they’re powered by people, purpose, and community.

This #NationalFarmersMarketWeek, we’re celebrating how farmers markets are essential, changing the way we grow, eat, and connect—and the incredible market operators, vendors, state and network association leaders, and supporters who strengthen markets for farmers, communities, and consumers alike.

Your love, resilience, and dedication make it all possible.

Without our market managers and volunteers, farmers markets wouldn't happen. We're inspired by their work supporting communities around the nation. It’s this dedication that showcases the true value of farmers markets.
Thank you all for strengthening your communities!
