And the Winners are...

And the Winners are...

Forget the Oscars, or the Tony awards, or even the Grammys, there’s a contest out there geared towards the more important things in life, such as the contest designed by the American Farmland Trust promoting the economic and social value of farmers markets in communities across the U.S. In the search to find consumers top choice farmers markets nation wide the AFT hosted an online contest where people could vote for their favorite farmers market. With more than ninety thousand votes tallied this summer the winners have been announced in their perspective market categories, which are as follows: Boutique Markets, those with fifteen or fewer vendors, Small Markets, with sixteen to thirty vendors, Medium Markets, thirty-one to fifty-five vendors, and Large Markets with fifty-six plus vendors. There is a list of the country’s top twenty markets, plus there are winners in every category in every state that can be viewed on the AFT contest website. Congratulations to all the farmers market winners. And when you think about it congratulations to all of us who are fortunate enough to have these local farmers markets.
