Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs
H. Res. 638 is a House resolution introduced in the 119th Congress that designates a specific week—August 3 through August 9, 2025—as “National Farmers Market Week.” The resolution acknowledges the economic importance of farmers markets, their growth—from a small number of markets in the 1990s to thousands today— and their role as educational venues that connect urban and rural communities. It also notes associations with sustainable farming practices and benefits to low-income individuals who use federal nutrition programs. Importantly, as a resolution, it is symbolic: it designates a week and expresses support for farmers markets without creating new laws, funding, or regulatory requirements.
