For farms & ranches

The #BuyLocal marketplace is coming

USMPM.com will connect your farm or ranch with buyers near you, without the middleman. Here's how it will work:

1. Claim your listing. Find your farm, ranch, market, CSA or food hub on the map and tap Claim this listing. Already on the 2020 map or in the USDA Local Food Directories? Your pin may already be waiting. Not there yet? You'll be able to add yourself.
2. List your products. Beef, pork, poultry, lamb, eggs, honey, produce: add what you sell, your cuts and shares, and your prices.
3. Local pickup first. Buyers order and pay online, then pick up at your farm, a market or a drop point you set. Shipping comes later for producers who can ship legally.

The rules we'll follow

• Custom-exempt meat can't be sold at retail. Meat processed under a custom exemption is for the owner's own use only. You can sell live animals or shares (a whole, half or quarter) before processing, but you can't sell custom-exempt cuts by the package.
• Inspection is required for meat sales. Retail cuts must be processed at a USDA-inspected plant, or a state-inspected plant for in-state sales. Listings will show the inspection type.
• No illegal raw milk. Raw milk can only be listed where your state allows it, and it can't cross state lines.
• Follow your state's cottage food and egg rules for baked goods, jams, honey and eggs.

This is general information, not legal advice. Check with your state department of agriculture for the rules that apply to you.
