FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Clute founder launches Field and Fork, a free way to find farms that sell direct
The website helps people find beef, chicken, eggs, dairy and fresh produce from farms near them, or farms that ship to the door, with no account required
CLUTE, Texas — Nov. 16, 2026 — A Brazoria County founder has built a free website that helps people find farms, CSAs, farm stands and farmers markets near them, and farms that will ship food to their door. Field and Fork, at https://fieldandfork.us, covers all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. As of Nov. 14, 2026, it listed 13,218 locations. Shoppers can search for beef, chicken, eggs, dairy, fruit and vegetables — and fish and seafood — without creating an account.
Alan Winkley, who lives in Clute, built the site so a grocery list would not have to feel like a chemistry project. A visitor types a ZIP code or a city and state, picks a food, and chooses “Near me” or “Ships to my state.” The site also has a guide for every state and Washington, D.C., and a page of farms that ship.
Most listings come from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Local Food Directories, which are self-reported and not always current. A smaller set of farms, including every farm on the shipping page, was checked on the farm's own website. As of Nov. 14, 2026, that shipping list had 67 farms and fisheries. Field and Fork is a directory, not a store. It does not list every farm, and shoppers should confirm hours, prices and availability with the farm before they go or order.
Organic labels are handled separately from the rest of a listing. Certified-organic claims are checked against USDA Organic INTEGRITY, the federal organic certification database. Farm-reported organic claims are labeled as such. Fish and seafood are never labeled organic here, because USDA has no organic standard for fish or seafood. As of Nov. 14, 2026, a live search for listings with a certified-organic product returned 89 results. Most directory listings do not have a product-level organic label.
“Your grocery list shouldn't require a chemistry degree,” said Alan Winkley, founder of Field and Fork. “I built this so anyone can type in a ZIP code and find a farm nearby, or one that will ship to the door, without creating an account or paying a fee. More farm. Less factory — and a little more money going to the people growing our food.”
People can suggest a new farm or a correction on the site. Nothing is published until it is reviewed.
