Farmers markets are in the spotlight this week for their importance in America’s food supply chain. 

Mark McKenzie with the Tuscarawas Valley Farmers Market says it represents all the effort that the markets make across our country.

Markets all over will host fun events, programs, and different activities for the occasion, observing it at this week’s market at the fairgrounds Wednesday as some of his vendors will be having specials.

The US Department of Agriculture in the past has issued a proclamation for the week as a time to celebrate the vital role the markets play in feeding the nation.
