New & Cool - USDA Farmers Markets Directory

If you prefer local source and seasonal - but where?

If you are a consumer searching for a farmers market to visit:

Below you can search for markets by zip code, geographic proximity, product availability, payment method and even whether the market participates in Federal nutrition programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). You can also search by selecting the state and typing the official name of the farmers market.

If you want to search for other types of operations offering locally-grown and produced products, please click here: www.usdalocalfooddirectories.com .

Link to this and lots more at USDA, now on my 'favorites':

I love being able to find the best version of whatever I need at about half the cost of the grocery store.

Thanks for the info.

Beat that Walmart!

And the local raw honey. Mmmmmm...

I also love that some of the small farms grow stuff nobody has ever seen or heard of. It's great for creativity in cooking.

The grocery store tomatoes freak me out - shouldn't they have 'cloning' labeling?
