American Farmland Trust (AFT) is having a contest this summer for people to vote for a fave farmers' market. They are (not surprisingly) calling it, "Vote for America's Favorite Farmers Markets." As they say, "Together we can strengthen the local farm-to-fork connection and pledge our support for healthy farms, healthy food and healthy communities."We Angelenos need to show the rest of the country how much we love our farmers markets and our farmers!
The first step is getting your Market Manager to enroll their market into the contest so they can be part of it!
So be sure to tell your favorite Market Manager to go to the site and enroll, its free and easy, www.farmland.org/marketmanager.
"Over the summer American Farmland Trust will be promoting farmers markets to local food enthusiasts in your community and beyond."
For those who aren't familiar with them, American Farmland Trust is "committed to protecting the nation's best farm and ranch land and improving the economic viability of agriculture."
