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 (confirmed in USDA Organic INTEGRITY): the operation is listed as certified for that kind of product in USDA's organic certification database.
- Certified organic (stated): the farm's own page says this product is certified organic, but we have not matched the 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.
Fish and seafood never carry an organic label here: USDA has no organic standard for fish or seafood. Fish listings come from USDA directory product lists and descriptions (self-reported).
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.
