A resolution designating the week of August 6 through August 12, 2023, as "National Farmers Market Week".
SRES 324 designates August 6-12, 2023, as "National Farmers Market Week" to honor farmers markets across the U.S. This symbolic resolution recognizes their economic impact (e.g., $1.7 billion in farmer income in 2020), role in connecting urban and rural communities, and contribution to sustainable farming and food access. It does not create new laws, funding, or direct benefits - it solely serves as a formal acknowledgment by the Senate. The resolution was introduced by Senators Padilla and Ernst and adopted without opposition.
