America's #1 farmers market, 2026.
The West Palm Beach GreenMarket won the USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice award for Best Farmers Market in the United States in April 2026, its fourth title. Previous wins came in 2021, 2022, and 2023, a three-year run no other market has pulled off. It placed second in 2024 and 2025. The 2026 poll pitted the market against 19 others. Soda City Market in South Carolina placed second, Boulder Farmers Market in Colorado placed third.
The market opened in November 1995 as the first weekly public farmers market in Palm Beach County. then-Mayor Nancy Graham started it after visiting public markets across Europe. The first season featured 13 vendors in the Old City Hall parking lot. Vendor interest soon outgrew the lot, and the market moved to its waterfront home.
The City reports that the GreenMarket has earned more than four dozen awards over its history, including a Best Market in Florida title from Cooking Light magazine and recognition in the New Times Best Of issue.
