The City of Tuscaloosa Farmers Market is getting recognition for being voted Best Farmers Market in Alabama in the 2024 America’s Farmers Market Celebration Awards.
This is the third consecutive year the Druid City’s market has won the majority of votes for best market in the Yellowhammer State.

"During peak season, we have nearly three thousand residents who visit our markets each week and we are proud to offer them a wide variety of vendors, fresh local produce, live entertainment and more," Clark continued. "We're honored to be chosen as the best market in the state of Alabama for the third year in a row.”
