Kentucky takes pride in showcasing Kentucky agriculture at the Great American Farmers Market in Washington D.C.
The Great American Farmers Market is set to take place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., from August 3 to 8, 2025. Hosted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture during National Farmers Market Week, the event is a significant tribute to American agricultural heritage and a platform to support farmers, growers, and producers across the nation.
The weeklong celebration will feature more than 50 vendors each day from 28 states, showcasing a diverse array of agricultural products including produce, meats, dairy, artisanal goods, and prepared foods. The market offers visitors the opportunity to learn about farming, explore various agricultural products, and engage with activities such as cooking demonstrations, live music, and educational programs.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced the event, emphasising the market's role in showcasing the rich bounty of American agriculture and the resilience and dedication of American farmers, ranchers, and producers. Secretary Rollins also highlighted that President Trump has been a strong supporter of farmers, ranchers, and producers.
In relation to the Kentucky Proud program, the event provides a national platform where Kentucky's official agricultural marketing brand can showcase the state's farm products and producers. Kentucky Proud, which has been in operation for over two decades, promotes products grown, raised, or processed by Kentuckians, emphasising the state's agricultural heritage and economic impact. Participation in the Great American Farmers Market allows Kentucky Proud to gain national recognition and brings attention to Kentucky’s farmers and farm families on a prominent stage in the nation’s capital.
