Last updated: March 21, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using U.S. Farm Trails (https://usfarmtrail.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. Description of Service
U.S. Farm Trails is an online directory that helps users discover local farms and ranches across the United States. We provide farm listings, interactive maps, user reviews, events, and educational content.
3. User Accounts
You may create an account to access features like saving favorites, leaving reviews, submitting farm listings, and creating events. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
4. User-Generated Content
You retain ownership of content you submit (comments, reviews, farm listings, event details). By posting content, you grant U.S. Farm Trails a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and moderate that content on our platform.
You agree not to post content that:
- Is false, misleading, or fraudulent
- Is defamatory, abusive, or harassing
- Infringes on intellectual property rights
- Contains spam, malware, or promotional links unrelated to farming
- Violates any applicable law
We reserve the right to remove content and suspend accounts that violate these guidelines.
5. Farm Listings
Farm listings are submitted by users and approved by our team. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy but do not guarantee that listing information (hours, products, contact details) is current or complete. Always verify directly with the farm before visiting.
6. Subscriptions and Payments
We offer optional paid subscriptions (Supporter and Farmer Pro) through Stripe. By subscribing, you agree to pay the listed fees. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time through your account dashboard or by contacting us.
Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact eatlocal@usfarmtrail.com for refund requests.
7. Farm Claiming
Farm owners can claim their listing with a Farmer Pro subscription to manage their page. By claiming a farm, you represent that you are the owner or an authorized representative of that business. False claims may result in account suspension.
8. Intellectual Property
The U.S. Farm Trails name, logo, site design, and original content are our property. The interactive maps use OpenStreetMap data under the Open Data Commons Open Database License.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The site is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that farm listings are accurate, that the site will be uninterrupted, or that it will be free of errors. Use the information at your own discretion.
10. Limitation of Liability
U.S. Farm Trails is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site, including but not limited to experiences at farms listed in our directory, financial losses from subscriptions, or data loss.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these terms. You may delete your account at any time by contacting us.

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
