INDIANA— Indiana Grown and the Indiana Farmers Market Community of Practice (INFMP) announced that Indiana’s Ultimate Farmers Market is returning for its second year this summer. Previously called Indiana’s Ultimate Farmers Market Challenge, this contest allows customers statewide to vote for their favorite hometown farmers market to encourage local engagement and statewide recognition.
“Indiana’s Ultimate Farmers Market allows for communities to support their local farmers market by voting for their favorite,” said Christina Ferroli, INFMP Program Coordinator. “Not only can consumers show support for their favorite farmers’ market, but voting also helps others discover local products.”
Is your farmers’ market the best? You can nominate it for Indiana’s Ultimate Farmers Market distinction on INFMP’s website from July 19 through July 26. Once the nomination period is complete, voting will begin July 29 and run through Aug. 11. Farmers’ market fans are allowed one vote per person daily. The winning farmers market will be announced on Aug.13.
“One thing is certain: Hoosiers love their farmers markets,” said Caroline Patrick, Indiana Grown Program Director. “Farmers markets are an integral part of Indiana communities’ economies, and it is great to see consumers supporting them!”
