Can you help West Palm Beach GreenMarket retake first place in USA TODAY 10Best poll?
West Palm Beach is ready for redemption! After being knocked out of first place last year, the city's GreenMarket is looking to reclaim the top spot in the USA TODAY 10Best "Best Farmers Market."
The weekly event on the city's waterfront too first place in the poll in 2021, 2022 and 2023, only to be bested by Worthington Farmers Market in Worthington, Ohio in 2024 and forced to settle for second place.
Though it still holds bragging rights as the only entry to have ever held the top spot for three consecutive years, the wildly popular market, which attracts between 7,000 and 10,000 visitors every Saturday, is looking for some payback and the chance to retake the top spot.
If you're a fan, dear reader, you can help them. From now until Monday, April 14 at 11:59 a.m. supporters can vote once per day for the market by voting online at 10best.usatoday.com .
"We always aim to build on its success, and we encourage everyone to help us grow by voting daily for this distinguished recognition that continues to enhance our reputation," said Angela Poco, the city's community events manager.
The green market began in 1995, running from October to April, with just 13 vendors. Thirty years later, it now draws 130 vendors offering everything from fresh produce and seafood, to crafts, coffee, donuts, sandwiches, burgers, smoothies and more.
"It is the heart of our community, an incubator for small businesses, and a testament to our commitment to offer something special to locals and visitors alike," said Poco.
