Vote for Your Favorite Farmers Market

A national competition promoting family farmers is searching for the best farmers market in America. Could Pleasant Hill win?

How does the Pleasant Hill farmers market compare to other local farmers markets? Could it be one of the best in the country? If you think so, here's a chance to vote for America's Favorite Farmers Market.

American Farmland Trust is sponsoring a national, summer-long competition in which people can vote for their favorite farmers mart. Winning markets will be featured in the media and honored at local celebrations. One local farmer will win a $1,000 "inspiration" award for dedication to his or her local market.

The trust is promoting the role farmers markets play in keeping family farmers on the land. The contest runs through Sept. 3.

How do you think the Pleasant Hill farmers market stacks up against others in the East Bay? Share your thoughts in the comments.

The Staples discounts are not really all that helpful. You can usually find lower prices atRead More Wallmart or on Amazon and you must spend a large amount (a couple hundred dollars) all in one month to get any cash back reward at all. If you spend money on school supplies spread out, like $150/mo, you do not accumulate enough in any one month to get any reward at all. The deal sounds great, but I've found it completely useless and frustrating. I think it's a ploy for positive press only, and of little help to a teacher.
