Key Points

This resolution officially names the first week of August 2026 as National Farmers Market Week. It is a ceremonial action meant to show support for local farmers and the places where they sell their goods.
Farmers markets have become a major part of the economy, growing from about 1,700 locations in 1994 to over 8,700 in recent years. In 2020 alone, these markets helped farmers earn 1.7 billion dollars in income.
The resolution also points out that these markets help low-income families get fresh food by accepting federal nutrition benefits. They also serve as a bridge between people living in cities and those living in rural farming communities.
