The bright burst of a freshly picked blueberry in your mouth, the excitement of seeing the first heirloom tomato of the season, a warm loaf of bread nestled into your tote bag... just thinking about our favorite local farmers market fills us with pride.

It’s time to turn that appreciation into a vote — so that the entire nation can know Sac has the best farmers markets around.

The 2023 America’s Farmers Market Celebration (AFMC) is open to votes through Monday, Sept. 18, to find a “People’s Choice” farmers market as the top-endorsed market in the country. The prize? Up to $15,000 for the top five markets to spend on marketing, communication, and other needs.

The most popular market in each state also wins $100 — so get voting.

Need a refresher on Sac’s finest? We’ve got a guide to local farmers markets.
