Kentucky Farmers Markets Week, Aug. 1-7, 2021 By Sean Southard Frankfort, KY - Commissioner of Agriculture Dr. Ryan Quarles is urging Kentuckians to celebrate Kentucky Farmers' Markets Week by getting out and supporting Kentucky farm families who bring fresh farm products to the public each week. This year's Farmers' Markets Week is August 1-7 and salutes the 173 farmers' markets in 115 of Kentucky's 120 counties. In those 173 markets, more than 2,900 vendors are offering products for sale. With reported sales of nearly $13.5 million last year, farmers' markets are an economic engine that celebrates the state's agricultural roots and brings the farm to Kentucky's consumers. This year's Farmers' Markets Week takes on special meaning as the state celebrates a return to normalcy after the COVID-19 pandemic. "Even through the COVID-19 pandemic, farmers' markets remained a vital resource, providing fresh and nutritious food direct from Kentucky's farms," Commissioner Quarles said. "This crisis put a magnifying glass on the reasons we need our agriculture producers. Be sure to stop by a local farmers' market to say thanks during farmers' markets week." This week, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and Community Farm Alliance (CFA) will have a series of events across the state to celebrate Kentucky Farmers' Markets Week and the Kentucky Double Dollars program. Kentucky Double Dollars allows low-income Kentuckians on federal SNAP, WIC, and senior nutrition benefits to double up their buying power at 43 participating farmers' markets in the commonwealth. This program is a collective effort of the CFA, Bluegrass Farm to Table, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund, Passport Health Plans, and WellCare Health Plans.
