This year marks the 50th anniversary of Pride, which will look very different with celebrations moving into the virtual space. While there is still much work to do in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality and liberation, particularly for farmers in rural communities and people who are transgender, there are also many victories to celebrate, like the Supreme Court’s recent historic decision affirming equal rights in the workplace, a victory won through the hard work of gay and transgender activists for decades.
In honor of Pride, we’re celebrating LGBTQ+ farmers and makers at our farmers markets, each one creating a more just, sustainable, and nourishing world. They care for the people, animals, and the land through their activism and craft, and we care for them. We’ll have Pride flags at the Info Booth tomorrow in celebration. Come pick one up! Together, we can make farmers markets inclusive, uplifting, and joyful spaces for everyone.
