Common questions
- Can you buy dairy at a farmers market?
- Yes — 634 markets in the USDA directory list dairy and cheese among what their vendors sell. Availability follows the season and the individual grower, so a market carrying it in July may not in February.
- Is dairy cheaper at a farmers market?
- It varies. Buying direct removes the distributor, but small-batch production costs more per unit than industrial supply. Where markets reliably win is freshness and varieties that do not survive shipping.
