Designating the week of August 3 through August 9, 2025, as "National Farmers Market Week".
HRES 638 designates the week of August 3-9, 2025, as "National Farmers Market Week" to recognize the role of farmers markets in U.S. communities. The resolution highlights that farmers markets generated $1.7 billion in farmer income in 2020, grew from 1,755 to 8,771 nationwide between 1994 and 2019, and support local economies, sustainable farming, and food access. It does not create new laws or funding but formally supports the designation and acknowledges how these markets connect urban and rural communities while aiding farmers and consumers. This commemorative resolution directly affects farmers markets, their operators, and communities that rely on them for economic and social engagement.
