Fans of both the Downtown Renton and Valley Medical markets can give their favorite markets some regional and national recognition in a contest sponsored by American Farmland Trust.
The Downtown Renton Farmers Market and the Valley Medical Farmers Market can get some regional and national love, as the American Farmland Trust runs its fourth annual America’s Favorite Farmers Markets contest.
