About the data
Where listings come from
- Rechecked farms. A small set of farms we checked on their own websites. Each product, organic claim and buying option links to the page it came from, with the date we checked.
- USDA Local Food Directories. CSAs, on-farm markets and farmers markets from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service's public bulk download (retrieved November 14, 2026). These entries are self-reported to USDA, many have not been updated in years, and we have not confirmed them. Each one links to its USDA listing and shows its last-updated date when USDA provides one. Farmers markets are labeled as markets, not farms.
How to read organic labels
- Certified organic (stated): the farm's own page says this product is certified organic. We have not yet confirmed each certificate in USDA Organic INTEGRITY.
- Organic practices (farm-reported): the farm says it uses organic methods but we found no certification for that product.
- Other practices: for example pasture-raised or organic feed. These are not the same as organic.
- Unknown: we do not have product-level evidence. USDA directory practice notes apply to a whole listing and are shown as notes, not organic labels.
Grass-fed, grass-finished, pasture-raised, regenerative and organic are tracked separately. We do not list prices, stock, reviews or endorsements.
Distances
ZIP and city locations use the U.S. Census Bureau 2025 Gazetteer (ZIP Code Tabulation Areas and places, public domain). Distances are approximate straight-line miles from the center of the ZIP area or city, not driving distance. "Near me" and "Ships to my state" are separate: a nearby farm may not deliver, and a distant farm may ship.
