Most U.S. adults (86%) would visit a farmers market in the next 12 months if one was located close to their home.
Factors like geographic setting and race do not play a role in the likelihood of a person visiting a farmers market, indicating that people across varying backgrounds and identities have interest in farmers markets. According to the 2024 NRPA Agency Performance Review, more than 1 in 5 park and recreation agencies manage or administer farmers markets.
