National Farmers Market Week
August 6-12, 2023

Monadnock Food Co-op joins partners across the country in celebrating National Farmers Market Week from August 6-12.

Over the past year, our farmers market community has continued to showcase adaptability in our rapidly changing world. While farmers markets have always been essential to our local food systems, in this moment of widespread changes, we want to also recognize the ways in which farmers markets are essential tools for shaping our worlds, and how they bring about important opportunities for us to learn, grow, and work together. More than ever, we need places where people can come together. Farmers markets are designed in partnership with the people they serve, creating a space where market operators, farmers, shoppers, and neighbors can collaborate to meet the evolving needs of our communities.

National Farmers Market Week is an occasion to highlight how farmers markets are changing the way we eat, shop, connect, and more!

What can you do to support farmers markets and celebrate National Farmers Market Week?

• Shop regularly at your farmers market – and tell your friends to do the same!
• Local food fans are encouraged to share National Farmers Market Week on social media! Use the #LoveMyMarket and #FarmersMarketWeek to share the bounty of the season on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
• Donate to support the efforts of the Farmers Market Coalition. Your support increases their capacity to provide technical assistance and guidance to farmers markets nationally as operators continue to adapt to rapidly changing conditions.

See you at the market!
