Episode 295: David Thayer: America's Farmers Market Celebration 2024

It's a celebration, it's a contest, it's two exciting things at once and it kicks off this coming weekend. American Farmland Trust has operated America's Farmers Market Celebration for 16 years now. It offers a great chance to make your market more visible and engage your shoppers. The cash prizes are an added bonus. This year's contest is shorter and maybe a little sweeter than last year's, with some new rules in place. Listen in on our conversation with AFT's David Thayer about all the ways the Celebration is designed to advance our shared mission of protecting farmers while promoting farmers markets. Learn about all this and more:  

• Why the Celebration has a new, shorter timeline

• Getting your market registered before June 1st

• Creative ways market contestants get out the vote

• Remembering that we're all on the same side

• Celebrating farmers markets all year 

Today’s episode of Tent Talk, the Farmers Market Podcast, is supported by American Farmland Trust.
