Common questions
- How do you know what each market sells?
- Market operators tick product categories when they register with the USDA, and we read that list from their listing. It describes the market as a whole across its vendors, not any one stall, and it is a snapshot rather than a live inventory.
- Will everything listed be there when I visit?
- No — and that is the point of a farmers market. Stalls follow the harvest, so strawberries in June are gone by August. Treat the product list as what the market carries across its season.
