AMS works to maintain a current listing of farmers markets throughout the United States. Market information included in the National Farmers Market Directory is voluntary and self-reported to AMS by market managers, representatives from state farmers market agencies and associations, and other key market personnel. Listings in the Directory are updated on an ongoing basis throughout the year, and each spring, AMS makes a concentrated effort to solicit new and updated market information from farmers market stakeholders in order to keep the listings as accurate and comprehensive as possible.

While AMS makes every attempt to keep its directory current, we cannot ensure that any given market listing is completely accurate and up to date. The timing of the latest update for each market listing can be viewed by clicking on a market name and looking at the submission date at the bottom of the record. To ensure that you have the latest information, you may wish to contact the listed market representative or consult the market’s own website, if available, before planning your visit.

Both a national map of farmers markets (static) and state-specific maps of farmers markets (interactive) are available for viewing. To see a state-specific map, select a state from the select box at the top of the state column below; a link will appear for that state's map. To add or change market information in the Directory, please click here: http://www.usdadirectoryupdate.com/ Update your market listing by May 18^th and your updated listing will appear in the Directory on June 5^th!
