The Top 3 Most Celebrated Farmers Markets in Connecticut - as of Monday morning - are the Bozrah Farmers Market, with $1,460 in pledges, the Coventry Regional Farmers Market, with $380 promised and Cityseed Farmers Market in New Haven with $300 pledged.

"Pledging to spend $10 at your local farmers market shows your support for the farmers and ranchers who support you," said Susan Sink, vice president of development and external affairs at American Farmland Trust.

The celebration hopes to collect $1 million in pledges, according to a news release.

Pledge your support and join locals in Vernon every Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer from 8 a.m to noon at Middletown South Green and on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of It's Only Natural Market on Main Street. See both Middletown farmers markets to vote for.

Pledging closes at midnight on Sept. 9.
