THE MARKET IS BEING AWARDED WITH HONORS:
We won first prize in our category as a non-profit community blog in the 2019 communications contest for New Mexico Press Women. This is the second award for the Española Farmers Market this year. Marguerite Kearns has been editing and publishing our blog since 2007.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE COMMENTS ABOUT OUR BLOG:
"Each blog entry feels purposeful, updating readers on the status of the growing and harvesting season, upcoming special events, weekly activities, free items, and more. Each closes with a reminder of the market's seasonal timetable, and a call to action. The language is casual and friendly, along with contextual information about the market, its growers, and its history. It does a great job of describing the community of growers and customers, and the way the market site is given multiple purposes to better serve that community. The photographs and the video of the market were enticing, and helped demonstrate the importance of this market to the community..."
THE OTHER GOOD NEWS...
And then to spread the joy, we won third place nationally in this same blog category for the National Federation of Press Women. Earlier in 2019, the Española Farmers Market received additional recognition as the "Best Farmers Market" during the Food and Farms Day at the NM State Legislature during a special ceremony in January 2019.
