There are a lot of places that aren't Pittsburgh (which is good, because if everyone discovered how nice it is here, they wouldn't all fit!). I can't give specific information for each Not-Pittsburgh... But assuming your Not-Pittsburgh is still in the US, every state in the nation has an agricultural extension service. Extension services are easily located by doing an internet search for "{Name of your state} Agricultural Extension". My best recommendation would be to call yours and ask them where you can find info about farmers' markets in your neck of the woods. Also, libraries are a great resource. If you have a question you don't know how to answer, call up the local public library's research desk. It's amazing the knowledge they know how to find!

They cite the PG/Google Maps mashup now too (which is awesome!). Someone there does a nice job of keeping current the info on the page.
