August 3–9, 2025 (Sunday–Saturday) marked the 26th annual celebration of National Farmers Market Week, established by the USDA in 1999. This vibrant week honors the critical role of farmers markets in strengthening America’s food systems, supporting local farms, and fostering community connections.

National Farmers Market Week is an invitation to celebrate local food, support local farmers, and connect with your community. Whether you’re a market manager, vendor, or shopper, it’s a week to amplify the benefits of fresh, direct-from-farm offerings—and to plan for many harvests ahead.
