Description: This indicator provides information about the geographic locations for farmers’ markets, including site name, address, city, and zip code.Farmers’ markets are valuable community resources that can promote healthy eating by making fresh and in-season fruits and vegetables readily available to residents. Many farmers’ markets are also able to process payments through the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) system or accept checks from food assistance programs, such as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (better known as WIC).For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.
