How to find a good, real local farmer's market

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 to be real farmer's markets, even if they include that in their name.

What are the advantages of shopping at a local farmer's market?

Three words sum up the advantages: "local" and "farm market".

Shopping locally means you'll

  • save gas, which means saving money, and create less less pollution in your drive,
  • pollute less, as the food does not need to be transported from a distance,
  • eat fresher food, with higher vitamin levels, as less time passes from harvesting to purchasing,
  • eat tastier food; again, as less time passes from harvesting to purchasing,
  • eat healthier food: since it does not need to be shipped, and it will be purchased sooner, less (or none) fungicides are needed.

Shopping at a genuine farmer's 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.
