AJR 171 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates first full week in August of each year as "Farmers Market Week."

This bill designates the first full week in August each year as "Farmers Market Week" in New Jersey. The measure directly affects farmers, market vendors, and local communities by officially recognizing the importance of these markets to the state. Its primary mechanism is a formal resolution that requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging citizens to celebrate and support local food businesses during this time. The bill aims to align New Jersey's observance with the existing National Farmers Market Week, highlighting the role of these markets in providing fresh food and stimulating local economies.
