What verified means
This isn’t a directory. It’s farms we’ve actually checked.
Grocery food is anonymous. Silent aisles, plastic clamshells, a farm you’ll never see. Every pin here is a named grower somebody actually confirmed.
Farmers claim their listing. We check who they are. Open means a person on that farm or at that market said so this week. Not leftover hours from a website.
Buy a peach from the grower who pruned the orchard through winter and it tastes different. That’s the whole point. Real food from people you can meet.
The farmers on this map grow real food. We check that they are who they say they are.
