The Garnett Farmer’s Market is joining markets across the country in celebrating National Farmer’s Market Week this week. It’s an annual celebration of farmer’s markets coordinated by the Farmer’s Market Coalition, who supports farmer’s markets Nationwide through training, technical assistance and network building. The Garnett Farmer’s Market began in July of 2008 and today hosts about a dozen vendors selling a wide variety of products.
As of this morning, the market in Garnett is leading all others in Kansas in the American Farmland Trust Best Market contest. You can vote and keep them in the lead by going to “markets.farmland.org” and clicking on the link. That link is also posted on the Garnett Chamber of Commerce or Garnett Farmer’s Market Facebook page.
