Farmers' Market Directory

Introduction

Food security is a growing issue all over the world, with large amounts of energy required to move food vast distances, and certain areas increasingly cut off by weather extremes. Farmers and consumers are at the increasing mercy of fuel costs or production/shipping chain issues.


Navigating This Directory


Many of these are directories, maps, and finders, but some are specific locations particularly for smaller regions and islands where info was harder to find. 


As voted on by the /PlaneteerHandbook community, we use this Continental Map to determine where to put countries and island nations. Countries often listed as Central America are listed in the North America drop down, and Middle Eastern countries are listed under the Asia dropdown.


Feedback


Please feel free to contribute feedback including any info about farmer's markets that we have missed!

Importance of Choices

The following are listed from most impactful choice, to less impactful.


What We Eat; Not Where It Comes From

It's important to understand that the most important decisions we can make about food should focus on "what we eat" more than "where our food comes from" especially when considering the most high-impact foods


Eat Local


However, once we have made those adjustments, the next simple thing we can do to both shorten the food chain. By shopping locally and especially via our local farmers' markets we can all help support struggling farmers.

What To Bring


Remember to bring money or crypto, some reusable bags, a reusable bottle of water (some vendors will let you refill with their lemonade and other fun flavors!), and anything else you might need for a successful low-impact shopping trip!
