Farmers Markets -- and Fresh Farm-to-Table Foods -- are Fast Growing

• https://gitnux.org/farmers-market-statistics/

In 2022, the United States had 8,140 farmers markets listed in the USDA National Farmers Market Directory

The farmers market industry has experienced remarkable growth over the past three decades. According to the USDA, the number of registered farmers markets in the United States grew from approximately 1,755 in 1994 to over 8,700 by 2019—an average growth rate of nearly 7% per year. This expansion reflected fundamental shifts in consumer preferences toward local, fresh, and sustainably produced food.

>I continue thinking that Rebecca of Google Earth Outreach (and a friend of ours at Bioneers) can assist with the goal of making it easier to find local Farmers Markets online via Google Maps -- Rebecca, think about a quick link for use w/ smartphones, dedicated mapping of Farmers Markets close by to wherever someone is, in the US, and/or Canada, and everywhere !

>Here is what your editor/siterunner posted to Google and Rebecca Moore on Earth Day -- Apr 22, 2013... Think about it Rebecca, Farmers Markets mapping added to Google Outreach ...

>Today on Earth Day the LA Times offers earthy tips including a local Farmers Markets map that has the seeds of a good map-app idea for Google Outreach...

Rebecca, plz consider doing a US Farmers Markets map' as an option/app w/ Google Maps ... Give us updated "Farmers Market" maps (w/ scheduled times they are planned to be open) for every local community!

>Steven Schmidt to Google Outreach Director Rebecca Moore, we're making mapping progress!
