North Dakota Farmers Markets

18 North Dakota farmers markets in USDA's national directory. Too few file a season as a range for a typical North Dakota season to be derived, so each listing stands on its own. Enter a ZIP below for the nearest, with the season and hours each one filed.

Every North Dakota season and hours line here is what the market filed with USDA, with the date it filed beside it; current trading status is the market's own to publish

The North Dakota markets nearest a ZIP code

USDA’s directory holds 18 farmers market listings in North Dakota, and too few of them file a season as a range for a typical one to be derived. The listings themselves are all here, with the season and hours each one filed.

Seasons and hours as filed with USDA, each with the date it was filed. Many of those dates are years old. A market keeps its own calendar and publishes it in its own window, and every listing here links the directory record and the market for current status.

Every result shows the season and the hours USDA’s directory holds, the date that record was last updated and a link to the record; current status comes from the market.

Distance is printed on every row because it matters: a market 40 miles away describes that town rather than yours. A ZIP near a state line will pull results from both sides, which is correct behaviour rather than a bug.

The North Dakota season

North Dakota seasons, listing by listing

USDA's directory holds 18 farmers market listings in North Dakota. 3 of them give a season that can be read as a range, too few for a typical North Dakota season, so each listing stands on its own. The listings themselves were last touched between January 2021 and August 2025.

3 of North Dakota’s 18 listings give a season that can be read as a range, counting both the ones that filed two real dates and the ones that typed a month range into the date field. That is under the 12 needed for a median: below about a dozen filings a median moves by weeks when one listing is added. The listings themselves are all in the tool above with the season and hours each one filed.

What North Dakota operators actually filled in

What the North Dakota listings actually fill in

  • Filed as two real dates317%
  • Typed as a month range00%
  • Written as year round00%
  • Other prose, not readable211%
  • Left blank1372%

The first two rows are the ones this site can read as a range, 3 of 18 or 17 percent, and only those go into the median. A month range is the operator’s own words, so it is read rather than discarded, but it widens the window by up to a month at each end. 5 listings also file weekly hours and 18 carry usable coordinates, which is what the ZIP tool ranks on. The records themselves were last touched between January 2021 and August 2025.

The North Dakota records in this snapshot were last touched between January 2021 and August 2025. That is the caveat on every line of this page: a listing carries whatever the operator typed on the day they typed it, and nothing rolls it forward.

18 of the 18 listings carry usable coordinates, which is what the ZIP tool ranks on, and 5 give a website. A listing with no website and no hours is still worth having, because the address and the directory record are enough to go and look.

In North Dakota the markets are there and the corn is there; 3 of 18 listings tell the federal directory which weeks of the year to turn up, too few for a median, so the listings stand on their own. “Ears of Corn at Farmers Market” — Alabama Extension (Bruce Dupree) — CC0

  1. Town Square Farmers Market65 vendors
  2. Minot Farmers Market30 vendors

  • 1 listing names North Dakota Farmers Market and Growers Association

These come from the directory’s own affiliated organisation field, which is the operator’s statement about its own market. They are membership organisations rather than public bodies, named here rather than quoted, and a market’s membership is the operator’s own statement.

Where to check whether a North Dakota market is trading

Where to find out whether a market is trading

Two places, in this order. The market’s own page or noticeboard, which is the only thing that is ever current, and North Dakota Department of Agriculture, which is the public body for this in North Dakota and keeps its own list. Link verified September 4, 2026.

A state farmers market association, where one exists, is nearly always a membership nonprofit rather than a public body, so the department of agriculture is the public body linked here.

“The Farmers Market Directory lists markets that feature two or more farm vendors selling agricultural products directly to customers at a common, recurrent physical location.”

USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Local Food Directories: National Farmers Market Directory

A federal directory of farmers markets. Operators file and maintain their own listings, so an entry is a claim by the market rather than a check by USDA, and a town with no entry is not a town with no market. That cuts both ways in North Dakota: the 18 listings here are markets that filed, and a North Dakota town with no listing is a town where nobody filed rather than a town with no market.

Every market on this site comes from USDA’s National Farmers Market Directory, run by the Agricultural Marketing Service under OMB control number 0581-0169, a US Government work in the public domain. Snapshot taken 2026-09-04: 7,067 markets, of which 653 filed a season as two real dates, 664 typed a month range that this site reads as one, and 1,563 file weekly hours. Listings are written and maintained by the markets themselves, so a season is the operator’s statement as of that record’s own date. Farmers markets in every state
