Before you go.

Markets change days and hours with the season, and the USDA directory this listing comes from does not carry hours for every market. If a day matters, check the market's own page or call the manager. At markets that take SNAP, you usually swipe once at an information booth for tokens, and many states match SNAP dollars spent on fruit and vegetables.

Worth asking before you go:

  • What days and months does it run?
  • Is there a SNAP booth, and is there a matching program?
  • Which vendors grow what they sell?

If you sell local product.

Coolers and display cases are where product is won or lost. These pages show how to watch them for a few dollars.
