The West Palm Beach GreenMarket has been nominated for "Best Farmers Market" in USA TODAY's 10Best Readers' Choice awards. The market has been on the leaderboard for four years, ranking No. 1 for three consecutive years (2021-2023) and No. 2 in 2024, according to an announcement from the City of West Palm Beach. Voting is open daily until April 14, and supporters can vote through USA TODAY's 10Best website or the city's events page.
The West Palm Beach GreenMarket is celebrating its 30th anniversary and will close the season on April 26. The market has been recognized by major media outlets, including The Boston Globe and Cooking Light magazine, for its fresh produce, artisanal goods, and support for regional agricultural development. “Our market is more than fresh produce and unique goods; 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 Angela Poco, Community Events Manager, as per the City of West Palm Beach.
The market is aiming to reclaim the top rank in 2025. "We are thrilled to be considered among the best farmers markets again," said West Palm Beach Mayor Keith A. James, in the same announcement. "Our GreenMarket has grown significantly, offering the largest variety of vendors and dynamic experiences. Our four consecutive top rankings place us in our own category, reflecting our commitment to excellence and continued growth. We encourage our supporters to vote daily. Remember, A vote a day brings the win our way!" he added.
The top 10 rankings will be revealed on April 23, after a selection process that began with a USA TODAY 10Best panel of travel experts choosing their top 20 candidates. The West Palm Beach GreenMarket supports local businesses and Southeast Florida’s agricultural sector. Sponsors for the current season include Land Rover Palm Beach, Florida Blue, and the West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency.
