A recent USDA blog post listed a few farmers markets statistics:
... USDA’s latest National Farmers Market Manager Survey, published by the Agricultural Marketing Service in 2009, shows that sales at farmers markets in 2005 exceeded $1 billion. At the time, USDA counted about 4,300 farmers markets operating in the United States. Today there are 7,175 farmers markets listed in the USDA National Farmers Market Directory. ...
The post discussed some other economic figures, but we wanted to share their directory link since you can search by zip code, products available, payments accepted, etc .. and they even include web links for farmers markets with a web presence.

Happy surfing and support your local markets!
