The Queen Anne Farmers Market has a loyal following in the neighborhood, but how does it fare to markets around the country?
That’s what American Farmland Trust wants to know, asking market goers around the country to cast their votes for America’s Favorite Farmers Market.
“The contest is designed to raise national awareness about the importance of supporting fresh food from local farms and farmers,” the website states. The winner won’t receive a major monetary prize, but they will earn the bragging rights associated with winning and a bunch of market-centric goodies, such as 500 canvas bags and an outdoor banner to hang up at the market.
Want to vote for your favorite market (i.e. Queen Anne?) Vote here by either typing in “Queen Anne Farmers Market” in the available space, or searching for nearby markets by zip code or state. AFT asks voters to supply an email address, but won’t send more than one confirmation email if you opt out of receiving others. Once you cast your vote you will be taken to a donation page, though a donation is not required to vote.
