The Ag Atlas is our working map of American agriculture: 34,710 farmers markets, farms, CSAs, food hubs, processors and helpers, each with its own page, organized by state and county across the whole country. It is compiled from federal and state sources, rebuilt every night, and corrected by the people who actually run the places listed. When an owner tells us something the database has wrong, the owner wins.

OAT sells nothing and the Atlas asks nothing. It exists to inform: to help you find the food grown around you, to help growers find buyers and help, and to give every county a clear picture of its own agriculture.

What's inside.

Ten kinds of stakeholder, every listing with its own page. Come in by the category:

County profiles.

Every county page opens with its 2022 Census of Agriculture numbers: farms, acres in farms, and products sold. For example, Apache County, Arizona, the largest farm county in the country at 5,343 farms.

Frequently asked questions.

How do I find farmers markets near me?

Look them up by state and county: the Atlas lists 6,946 farmers markets across the country, each with its address and, where the source has them, hours and payment types. Pick your state from the dropdown above or search by town name.

Where can I buy food directly from a local farm?

Three common ways: on-farm stores and farm stands, where you buy at the farm; CSA programs, where you buy a share of the season up front; and u-pick farms. The Atlas lists all three by state and county, so start with your county page and see what is close.

Do farmers markets take SNAP or EBT?

Many do. At most participating markets you swipe your EBT card at a central booth for tokens to spend with vendors, and some states match SNAP dollars. Listings in the Atlas show SNAP acceptance, and each state has a view of just its SNAP markets.

What is a CSA and how does it work?

Community Supported Agriculture: you buy a share of a farm's season before it starts, then collect a box of what the farm produces each week. The Atlas lists 1,590 CSA programs with location and contact details.

How do I find u-pick farms or farms to visit?

That is agritourism: u-pick fields, farm tours, corn mazes and farm stays. The Atlas lists 13,398 operations you can visit, organized by state and county.

Is there a national directory of farmers markets?

Yes. The Atlas is a national directory of 6,946 farmers markets plus on-farm stores, CSAs, food hubs and processors, covering all 50 states, organized by state and county, open to browse with no account. The USDA maintains the source directory; the Atlas compiles it together with state programs and re-checks listings on a rolling basis.

Where can I find a list of all the farms or markets in my state?

Every state page in the Atlas is that list: the farms, markets, CSAs and processors we know of in the state, grouped by county, each with its own page. Pick your state from the dropdown above; any category view can also be printed.

Where does this directory's data come from?

Federal and state sources: the USDA Local Food Directories, the FSIS inspection directory, the 2022 Census of Agriculture, and state agriculture department programs, joined so one real place appears once. The whole Atlas rebuilds nightly and listings are re-checked on a rolling sweep.

How do I add my farm or market, or fix a listing?

Use the claim page. Tell us what is missing or wrong, leave a way to verify with you, and once we confirm, the listing updates and carries an owner-verified badge. An owner's word outranks the federal feeds.
