The USDA National Farmers Market Directory, maintained by AMS Marketing Services, is designed to provide members of the public with convenient access to information about U.S. farmers market locations, directions, operating times, product offerings, and accepted forms of payment. Market information included in the Directory is voluntary and self-reported to AMS by market managers, representatives from State farmers market agencies and associations, and other key market personnel.
While AMS Marketing Services updates market listings in the USDA National Farmers Market Directory throughout the year on request from market stakeholders, the program also actively solicits new and updated market information from farmers market stakeholders each spring in order to keep the listings in the Directory as accurate and comprehensive as possible. Despite these efforts to maintain the integrity and accuracy of the data, there is no way to ensure that each individual farmers market listing in the Directory is completely accurate and up to date at any given point in time. To make it easier for users of the Directory search engine to evaluate the likelihood that market information provided in the Directory is still current, each market listing contains a date stamp at the bottom of the record. To avoid disappointment, users may wish to contact the listed market representative or consult the market's own website, if available, before planning a visit.
Users of this Directory search engine can also take advantage of both a
national map of farmers markets (static) and state-specific maps of farmers markets (interactive). To see a state-specific map, please select a state from the Select box at the top of the state column below, and a link will appear for that Sate's map. For additional information on how to use the Farmers Market search engine page, please select the Instruction tab at the top of the page.
For those users who are interested in obtaining copies of the entire Directory dataset, an exportable Excel file of farmers market listings is available for download by selecting the Export to Excel button at the bottom of this page. An identical version of this dataset is also available from
data.gov.
If you discover any market information that should be added, updated or removed from the Directory or have any additional questions, please contact our Farmers Market Directory team at
directoryupdates@ams.usda.gov, and we will handle your request at the earliest opportunity
