In addition to recognizing the top markets in each region of America, the Celebration will crown an overall “People’s Choice” winner as the top-endorsed market in the country.

Now in the second summer of the coronavirus pandemic, the role of farmers markets as both a vital venue for farmers to sell their goods and shoppers to access local, healthy food is being recognized like never before. If the last year has taught us anything, it is that farmers markets are essential businesses that provide a vital service and should be celebrated.

So far this year, the average customer count at the market is 2,700 each Sunday. Customers qualifying for EBT have spent $8,800 on fresh food and vegetables at the market this season, with a SNAP market match of $7,500 thus far. Vendor sales to date $228,000! Food donated to the Auburn Food Bank to date – 1,600 lbs.

The market is breaking season records almost every week.
