Search Market Directories by ZIP Code
The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service says shoppers can search farmers markets by ZIP code, product, payment method and SNAP/WIC participation in the Local Food Directories listing. Use the product filter for candles, soaps and related artisan goods. Save markets that list bath or gift vendors.
Start with your ZIP code, then narrow by product and payment method. Note market days, hours and addresses before you go. Contact the market when a listing is unclear about current vendors.
