Vote for your favorite farmers market
The 2026 America’s Farmers Market Celebration™ by American Farmland Trust is underway and runs through Sept. 30. The celebration is the only annual ranking of the top farmers markets in the U.S. as voted on by the public.
The 18th annual AFMC runs Aug. 1 – Sept. 30 on markets.farmland.org. The event is a fun celebration that helps farmers markets across the country earn national recognition and local prestige. Markets can join the celebration and encourage their customers to vote, an excellent marketing tool and a pathway to winning a piece of the $15,000 prize pool.
AFT will award 10 markets nationwide winners this year, and the breakdown of prize money is as follows: $2,500 for first, $2,000 for second, $1,500 for third, $1,250 for fourth, $1,000 for fifth – eighth and $875 for ninth and 10th. The first place for “regional choice” and “state” winners for each region will receive a gift bag of merchandise and digital award package.
The top markets also receive national and local press coverage, complimentary American Farmland Trust membership, No Farms No Food® gear and other merchandise.
The AFMC also identifies the top markets in each state and in the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest and Pacific regions.
