Static HTML with schema.org LocalBusiness+Farm JSON-LD (geo, address, contact, products, FAQ). Rebuilt nightly. - Directory hubs: /farm-directory/[state-slug], /farm-directory/[state-slug]/[city-slug], /[category]/[state-slug] (e.g. /raw-milk/texas), /raw-milk-laws/[state-slug]. - Aggregate dataset (counts by state, city, category, delivery capability): https://farm-to-door.com/reports/direct-farm-food/summary.json and summary.csv.
