The Great American Farmers Market 2025

As we approach the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, we have a golden chance to honor the heart of our nation: agriculture.

The Great American Farmers Market, taking place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., during National Farmers Market Week (August 3–8, 2025), will unite farmers, ranchers, and producers to showcase American agriculture, reinforce our shared commitments to “Make Agriculture Great Again” and “Make America Healthy Again,” and pay tribute to our nation’s growers.
