Designating the week of August 3 through August 9, 2025, as "National Farmers Market Week".

This House Resolution proposes designating the week of August 3 through August 9, 2025, as "National Farmers Market Week" to acknowledge the significant contributions of these markets. Farmers markets are crucial for local economies, generating substantial income for farmers and experiencing considerable growth over the past decades. They serve as important educational sites, bridging urban and rural communities, and promoting a better understanding of farming and ranching practices. Furthermore, these markets facilitate the adoption of more sustainable farming methods through direct consumer interaction and improve the health and wellness of low-income individuals utilizing Federal nutrition benefits. Congress supports this designation to raise awareness and recognize the indispensable role farmers markets play in enhancing food access, bolstering local economies, and fostering healthy, connected communities.
