The number of farmers markets listed in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Farmers Market Directory has increased by 9.6 percent over the past year, from 7,175 markets in 2011 to 7,864 in 2012.
“The continued growth in farmers markets is terrific for family farmers and everyone who enjoys buying fresh, locally-grown food,” said American Farmland Trust President Jon Scholl.
To recognize the role of the markets, the American Farmland Trust launched an online contest and leader board revealing the top farmers markets. The board tracks up-to-the-minute standings until it closes midnight on Labor Day (September 3).
The contest is a nationwide challenge to see which markets rally the most votes from their customers. At the end of the contest, four winning markets — one small, one medium, one mid-size, and one large —will receive the title of America’s Favorite Farmers Market for 2012.
So far, the Cherry Street Market in Tulsa ranks second in the state.
According to the contest rules, people can vote for as many participating farmers markets as they choose, but can only vote for each market once.
