Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack Monday signed a proclamation declaring the week of August 7th as "National Farmers Market Week." This year marks the 17th annual National Farmers Market Week to honor and celebrate farmers markets. Vilsack says “National Farmers Market Week recognizes the growth of these markets and their role in supporting both urban and rural communities.” Throughout the week, officials with the U.S. Department of Agriculture will celebrate at farmers market locations across the country. To help celebrate National Farmers Market Week, USDA is sharing online free farmers market-related graphics that market managers and others can use to promotional materials. The resources can be found at AMS dot USDA dot gov (www.ams.usda.gov/resources/NFMW).
