Senate and House Move to Designate National Farmers Market Week
The Senate passed a resolution to recognize August 2 through August 8, 2026, as National Farmers Market Week. This ceremonial action seeks to increase visibility for local farmers and fresh food access. Representative Valadao introduced a companion resolution in the House to acknowledge the economic impact these markets have on their communities.
Advocates for the measure highlighted the role of markets in maintaining a resilient food supply. Social media campaigns urged the public to buy local and support American growers during the week-long celebration.
