If you are looking for healthy, fresh food, grown locally there are more options than ever before. This website helps you to find local farmers' markets. A farmers' market is a physical (not an online) marketplace that sells locally grown foods from local farmers and growers direct to consumers. Farmers' markets range from indoors and year round operations to outdoor parking lot collections of vendors meeting once a week in summer only. Typically there are many booths, tables and tents where the farmers (and other vendors) sell their homegrown fruit, vegetables, homemade food products, like applesauce, applebutter, jams, jellies, salsa, pickles, sauces, meats and often artisan products from artists and other small businesses. Farmers' markets reflect the local culture, season and produce. Don't confuse a true farmers' market with corporate chain stores that may call themselves a farm market,
Our listings come from a variety of sources: state agriculture departments, consumers writing in to recommend a market and the markets themselves. We update and add listings every day. Since this website just went live in August 2019, we're adding listings at a ferocious pace! It should take us a few months to get up to a fairly complete set of listings. Of course, we're looking for more farm markets to add, so we welcome your recommendations! ! Customers can recommend a farm here and farmers can add (or update/correct) their own farm's listing by clicking here!
Our sister website, PickYourOwn.org has crop calendars for each local area to tell you what is available to pick throughout the year and really easy illustrated directionsto show you how to make jam, jelly, salsa, pickles, spaghetti sauce, applesauce, apple butter and 150 other recipes with step by step step directions to can, freeze, dry or preserve the harvest.

It's quite simple! Start by clicking the "Start here" button (at the top of every page or on the left menu). You then select your local area (country, state/province) and then region/county or local metropolitan area. Just scroll down the page that appears, to see farm markets listed by county.
Items of special interest, such as organic foods, foods grown locally, special events are highlighted in colors to make them stand out.
The search engine (see the button at the top of each page) can be helpful, too.
Note: we don't consider large commercial "big box" food store chains like Whole Foods, Sporuts and the like to be a real farmers' market, even if they include that in their names.

Which form to use?
Three words sum up the advantages: "local" and "farm market".
Shopping locally means you'll
Shopping at a genuine farmers' market means you'll be closer to the source of your food, get to know the farms, the farmers, the people who produce the food that you eat, and put into your family's bodies. They are more likely to listen to your needs and be socially responsible, than a giant ag farm in a foreign country.
