Farmers Markets & Distributors

Farm-to-Table shopping takes many forms. The most common are farmers markets, of which there are three types: 

1. Traditional outdoor pop-up markets for groups of vendors (often on the Weekends), and Roadside Stands
2. Shops that are located on a farm or an adjacent property with sales dedicated to the farm products and any local partners, and may include seasonal picking of produce for guests (i.e., apple, strawberry, pumpkin, other)
3. Grocery Stores which have fixed departments for participating Farms and Distributors, which is very common among Dutch, Amish and Mennonite Farmers Markets.

In recent years, commercial grocery stores and chains have begun to carry farm-fresh products among their variety of options, where you can choose by the source of the food product. This is a growing trend that is great for the farm-to-table marketplace.

Dependent on your local area, there may be farmers markets within a convenient radius. Though, some of the best farmers markets are worth the travel for a special day, morning or afternoon adventure. 

These days, most farmers markets advertise online, such as through Google or Yelp. Feel free to contact us if you would like some suggestions within reach of your local area.

A really great development that has become trendy is shopping online for farm fresh products through e-commerce and home delivery platforms. Not all online marketplaces reach all local areas, so be sure to check what is available to be delivered specifically to your Zip Code.
