Visualizing Farmers Markets Around the Country

This is a small side project to study through visualization the distribution and types of farmers markets around the country.

Data comes from data.gov

---

To Run d3 Viz:

• Navigate to the /d3 directory.
• Enter python -m SimpleHTTPServer into the terminal. (Assuming you have python installed and are on unix.)
• Navigate to localhost:8000 in your favorite web browser.

Further Interesting Questions To Ask:

• Which state has the most/least farmers markets?
• What about per capita?
• What about by % of gdp raised by farming to markets per capita?
• Most isolated farmers markets?
• Can you predict where a farmers market is by what it sells?
• Do places with water shortages have a higher proportion of non water-intensive products?

Form of Second visualization:

• Scrolling form.
• Each section corresponding to my investigation steps per above.
• Make it bootstrap style where they can select from a menu to go straight to that menu section. Kinda a mixture of narative and free-explore.
