WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The West Palm Beach GreenMarket was named the No. 1 farmers market in the country in the USA Today Readers Choice Awards.

A panel of food and travel experts picked 20 markets. Voters had four weeks to cast daily ballots for the pick.

"This recognition has me reflecting on what makes this market so special," Mayor Keith James said. "I believe the vendors, vista and venue, and, of course, the great team behind it all helped us reach this victory. I'd like to thank our community, who for years has come out every week to support our local economy."
