Yes, the rankings are in and the Davis Farmers Market took the top spot in the American Farmland Trust’s 2009 poll. Other winners included the Williamsburg Farmers Market in Virginia, and the Collingswood Farmers' Market in New Jersey. With close to 30,000 votes cast and 857 participating farmers' markets, it’s clear that support for fresh, local food is as strong as ever.
