    Why buy at a Farmers Market?

    • The majority of the money spent on grocery-store food goes to suppliers, processors, middlemen and marketers. Only 3.5 cents of each dollar actually goes to the farmer.ix If you buy food from a farmers market or farm stand, you can be sure that most, if not all, of your money is going directly to the farmer.
    • Communities reap more economic benefits from the presence of small farms than they do from large ones. Studies have shown that small farms re-invest more money into local economies by purchasing feed, seed and other materials from local businesses,x whereas large farms often order in bulk from distant companies. Large factory livestock farms also bring down local property values with the intense odors they emit.xi
    • A typical carrot has to travel 1,838 miles to reach your dinner table.xii
    • In the U.S., a wheat farmer can expect to receive about six cents of each dollar spent on a loaf of bread—approximately the cost of the wrapping.xiii
    • Farmers markets enable farmers to keep 80 to 90 cents of each dollar spent by the consumer.xiv
    • About 1/3 of all U.S. farms are located within metropolitan areas, comprising 18% of the total U.S. farmland.xv
