The America’s Farmers Market Celebration, organized by the Farmers Market Coalition, highlights markets across the country that serve as vital gathering places. Rankings are based on community support, with votes coming from shoppers, vendors, and volunteers who rally behind their favorite local markets each year. McKinney’s continued top ranking reflects not only the dedication of its farmers and makers, but also the loyalty of the community that shows up week after week to shop local and support small businesses.
