Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins today signed a proclamation recognizing National Farmers Market Week, August 2-8, 2026, calling on Americans to make the week a nationwide celebration by visiting and supporting their local farmers markets.
Observed annually during the first full week of August, National Farmers Market Week recognizes the important role farmers markets play in strengthening rural communities, creating new market opportunities for producers, and connecting consumers with fresh, American-grown food.
“National Farmers Market Week is about celebrating the farmers and ranchers who produce the safest, highest-quality food in the world and making sure Americans have every opportunity to support them,” said Secretary Rollins.
USDA encourages Americans to visit their local farmers markets this week, thank the farmers and ranchers who feed our country, and support the communities that keep American agriculture thriving for generations to come.
