Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes the first week of August 2026 as National Farmers Market Week to celebrate the role these markets play in local communities.
Farmers markets are a major part of the economy, bringing in about $1.7 billion for American farmers in 2020 and growing from under 2,000 locations in 1994 to over 8,700 today.
The resolution highlights how these markets help low-income families use federal food benefits to buy fresh produce while teaching people more about where their food comes from.
