And well we should be! I’ve been to tons of farmer’s markets all around the US. Moscow’s is hands-down the best I’ve ever seen.
The Moscow Farmers Market is in the running to receive national recognition from American Farmland Trust, a national nonprofit ‘dedicated to saving farmland for the next generation’.
The Celebration is asking market patrons, farmers, and community supporters to endorse their favorite farmers market in four areas: Focus on Farmers, Healthy Food for All, Pillar of the Community, and Champion for the Environment, to help identify the best farmers markets nationwide. The summer-long event ends September 21st at midnight.
At the end of the summer-long Celebration, American Farmland Trust will present awards to the most endorsed markets in each of the four special areas, the “People’s Choice” award, going to the market that gets the most endorsements overall, and the top three most endorsed farmers markets in each state. Markets that place in any of the above categories will receive a badge for their website, honoring their achievement and recognition on the Celebration’s national website and “No Farm, No Food” swag.
Market shoppers, famers and community members are encouraged to endorse the Moscow Farmers Market by visiting the American Farmland Trust Farmers Market Celebration website at http://markets.farmland.org/market/moscow-farmers-market/.
The Moscow Farmers Market runs every Saturday. May — October, from 8:00 am — 1:00 pm
