Where To Find The Best Farmers' Market In Your State

If you want the freshest local ingredients of the season, a farmers' market is the way to go. Not only can you pick up produce at its absolute prime, but you can also chat with the people who grew it and discover more about where your food comes from. In addition, many farmers' markets feature hidden gems from artisan bakers, small-batch cheesemakers, craftspeople, food truck operators, and creators of gourmet products like jams, sauces, and honeys.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there are over 8,770 farmer's markets in the United States. Some are massive urban affairs that attract thousands of visitors, while others are smaller operations serving local communities. With that in mind, it helps to know which markets offer the best bang for your buck. Based on visitor reviews and voting polls from organizations like America's Farmers Market Celebration, these are the best farmers' markets in every state.
