It's nationwide, and they are giving away $5,000 to the market with the most votes. It's a great way to show support for your market! http://www.care2.com/farmersmarket I just wanted to let you know that Care2 is hosting a farmer’s market contest this summer called “Love Your Farmers Market”.

In my home town, one of the farmer's markets is totally organic, and the line ups at favorite tables are long and loyal. They are also a place for community to grow, with entertainment, crafts, etc. A meeting place for people. Bravo. They have come a long way from the original farmer's markets which were out of the backs of old trucks. Those, too, I remember with fondness.
