Congratulations to the markets that have already won weekly prizes!

It’s easy to spread the word to help your farmers market win and generate buzz for your market in your community to help your local farmers. Visit your contest promo page to post a link to Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, send a fun eCard, grab web banners to post, download flyers to print and send emails to friends.
Have some fun in the kitchen after the market: Some Care2 employees got together with our friend Jen Dalton, organic home cook and slow food organizer, to produce a fun series of YouTube cooking shows with fresh food from our local farmers market. Six simple and delicious recipes are already up – check them out: http://www.youtube.com/user/FarmFreshCook
Care2 is partnering with LocalHarvest.org, America’s most popular website for finding food grown close to home, to raise awareness of local foods, family farms, and community farmers markets through this fun, summer-long contest. Thank you for voting and for supporting your local farmers market!
Thank you!
