Looking for a local, family-run, organic, regenerative or biodynamic farm? Farmers markets are always a good place to start. But if yours doesn’t have high quality organic produce or a good selection, use the links below to find a farm in your area.

LOCAL HARVEST
LocalHarvest.org is an easy-to-use database that helps source organic and regenerative farms, farmers markets, CSA’s, restaurants, grocery stores, co-ops, u-pick farms, farm stands, as well as wholesale and meat processors that sell organic food. Simply choose “Farms” from the drop-down menu at the top of the site and type in your zip code. 

EAT WILD
If you’re looking for grass-fed meat, Eatwild.com is the site for you. Eat Wild provides a list of small farms that will ship directly to you. Simply open the link and click on your state. You’ll find a list of farms and what they sell. Some raise only 100% grass-fed Angus beef. Others sell 100% pasture-raised slow-growth chicken. Scroll through the site to find what you’re looking for.

HAVE ORGANIC FOOD SENT TO YOU

A traditional CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, allows you to order fresh, in-season food directly from a local organic or biodynamic farm. Once you find a farm you like, ask if they have a CSA program in your area.

Subscription services, such as Full Circle (ships to Washington State, parts of Idaho, Portland, Oregon, and Alaska) and Farm Fresh To You (ships within the state of California) are a way to get a box of fresh organic produce shipped to your home or office. The boxes are customizable and can be delivered every week, every other week, every three weeks, or once a month.

PICK YOUR OWN
Want to take the kids out to a farm to pick cherries in the summer or pumpkins in the fall? Visit PickYourOwn.org and click on your state for a list of u-pick farms close to you. The site lists what’s in season and also includes honey, meats, milk, and eggs, as well as horse rides, bed and breakfasts, and farm venues for weddings, events, activities, parties, and meetings.

SEARCH ENGINES
When using search engines like Google, be very specific when searching for local farms. For example, ask, “Where can I find an organic, or regenerative, or biodynamic farm in [my city]?” If you don’t find what you are looking for, use the “News” option to see if a local media outlet has written about a farm in your area.

“Farm Day” or “Open Farm Day”
Farm day events offer the community an opportunity to visit and/or tour a local farm. Do a quick search to see if there’s a Farm Day in your city/town.

Be Specific
