Supporting Local Farmstands

 The American Farmstand Association was created to support and celebrate local farmstands across the country.

Farmstands are more than places to grab produce. They’re roadside stops that turn into conversations, front-yard tables where neighbors catch up, and small businesses built on early mornings, hard work, and trust. From honor stands and family farms to bakers, makers, and growers, farmstands are where local food and community meet.

Our goal is simple. We want to make it easier for people to find and support local farmstands, and easier for farmstand owners to feel connected instead of going it alone.

The Association brings farmstands together, not to compete, but to share ideas, resources, and encouragement. We help shine a light on the people behind the stands, tell their stories, and build stronger connections between producers and the communities they serve.

For customers, the American Farmstand Association is a way to discover farmstands nearby and shop with confidence, knowing they’re supporting real people and local food. For farmstand owners, it’s a place to belong, learn, and grow at a pace that feels right.

At its heart, this Association is about keeping farmstands local, food honest, and communities connected. Whether you run a stand, bake the bread, grow the produce, or simply choose to shop local, you’re part of the story.
