National Farmers Market Week
August 4-10, 2013
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that 8,144 farmers markets are now listed in USDA's National Farmers Market Directory, up from about 5,000 in 2008. "Farmers markets are an important public face for agriculture and a critical part of our nation's food system," said Vilsack. "They provide benefits not only to the farmers looking for important income opportunities, but also help fill a growing consumer demand for fresh, healthy foods ." |
