In celebration with America 250, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins today announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will be hosting the Great American Farmers Market on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., during National Farmers Market Week.
The market will run this summer from August 3rd to August 8th, farmers and vendors will be invited to join the historic event.
“There is no greater celebration of America’s legacy than through American agriculture! Farmers helped found our nation and for centuries have diligently passed down the craft of feeding, fueling, and clothing their fellow patriots.
The Great American Farmers Market is a celebration of the almost 250 years since our inception and a chance to honor the heart of our nation: agriculture,” said Secretary Rollins.
