Consumers Asked To Show Some Love For Their Farmers Market This Summer

Farmers markets in the Napa Valley are open Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

A non-profit organization is asking consumers to support their local farmers market this summer by pledging to shop there.

American Farmland Trust has kicked off its I Love My Farmers Market campaign for 2013. It's the fifth consecutive year for the summertime program.

The trust is asking consumers to pledge to spend $10 during one week of the summer at their local farmers market. They hope to raise $1 million to help local farms by the time the campaign ends on Sept. 9.

Do you shop at farmers markets? Do you plan to participate in the summer campaign? Let us know in the comments.

The Napa Farmers Market is open from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Saturdays at 500 First St. in Downtown Napa. The Calistoga Farmers Market is open from 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturdays at 1311 Washington St. and the St. Helena's Farmers Market is open from 7:30 a.m. to noon Fridays at 360 Crane Avenue St.
