• search_farms

  Search the Find My Farmer registry of local farms in Canada. Returns farm name, location (city/province), type, and the canonical findmyfarmer.ca page URL. Search matches farm names, stories, and what each farm sells (goods, packages, events).

  Parameters:

  • page — integer — Page number (10 results per page).
  • query — string — Free-text search, e.g. "beef", "sourdough", "farm stays". Omit to list farms.
  • province — string — Two-letter province/state code filter, e.g. "AB", "BC", "MT".

• get_farm

  Fetch one farm's full public profile by its URL slug (the last path segment of a findmyfarmer.ca/farms/... URL, also returned by search_farms). Includes the farm story, contact channels the farmer chose to publish, and how to buy from them. Volume-capped: 50 profiles per caller per UTC day — this registry serves reference use and does not offer bulk datasets.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — The farm's URL slug, e.g. "po-s-broccoli-patch".

• search_farmdex

  Search the Farmdex — Find My Farmer's agricultural knowledge database of categories, species, and variants (e.g. heritage vegetable varieties, livestock breeds). Useful for resolving what a food product actually is before searching for farms that sell it.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — e.g. "brandywine tomato", "highland cattle".

• list_hubs

  List Find My Farmer hubs — the named local-food regions (foodsheds) farms dock into. Useful for narrowing a farm search to a place.

  Parameters:

  • province — string — Two-letter province/state code filter, e.g. "AB".

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• find_near

  Farms AND coordination points (farmers' markets, off-farm pickup points, stockists) within a radius of a point or a named place, ordered by distance, optionally filtered by what is sold (species ids or a good slug), a farming practice, a service category, or an event type. Points carry their schedule and the farms present. Distances are straight-line from each farm's PUBLIC map point, or pass distance="road" for cached driving distance + minutes (cold pairs are filled once per call, capped). This is the "where can I get X near here — and where on Saturday" primitive.

  Parameters:

  • lat — number — Latitude of the centre. Pass lat+lng OR place.
  • lng — number — Longitude of the centre.
  • good — string — A goods slug from list_goods (e.g. "grass-fed-beef") — expands to its species and practice scope.
  • page — integer — Page number.
  • kinds — array — Point kinds to include (default all).
  • limit — integer — Results per page, applied to farms and points separately (default 25).
  • place — string — A place slug from list_places, e.g. "calgary", "alberta/calgary" or "alberta". Its centroid becomes the centre and its reach the default radius.
  • include — string — What to return: farms, points (markets / pickups / stockists), or both (default).
  • species — array — species ids (from search_farmdex / get_place_catalogue), OR-matched, e.g. ["cattle-taurus"].
  • distance — string — straight (default) = geodesic from the public point. road = driving km + minutes from the shared 90-day cache; a bounded number of cold pairs are routed fresh per call, the rest carry straight-line only until warmed. Maps-hidden farms never carry road figures.
  • practices — array — farming practice ids from list_filters, e.g. ["rotationalGrazing"].
  • radius_km — number — Search radius in km (default: the place's reach, else 50; max 300).
  • event_types — array — event type slugs from list_filters, e.g. ["berry-picking"].
  • service_categories — array — service category slugs from list_filters, e.g. ["hay-feed-forage"].

• price_stats

  Aggregate price statistics (low / median / mean / high, farm + observation counts, as-of dates) for a good, nationally or in one province, from Find My Farmer's price ledger. Every bucket covers at least 3 farms and names none; a single farm's own prices, each dated and cited, come from get_farm.

  Parameters:

  • good (required) — string — A goods slug from list_goods, e.g. "grass-fed-beef", "raw-honey".
  • province — string — Province slug ("alberta"), code ("AB") or name. Omit for national.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• whats_in_season

  Species in their harvest window in a Canadian province for a given month (default: this month), with how many local published farms list each. Window-based (is the month inside start..end), not peak-based.

  Parameters:

  • province (required) — string — Province slug ("ontario"), code ("ON") or name.
  • month — integer — Month number 1–12. Default: current month (UTC).

• get_place_catalogue

  Everything available near a place — every species that published farms serving the place list, in taxonomy shape (category → subcategory → species) with local farm counts — plus the place's Wikidata / GeoNames ids.

  Parameters:

  • province (required) — string — Province slug, e.g. "alberta".
  • metro — string — Metro slug under that province, e.g. "calgary". Omit for the whole province.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_places

  The place graph: countries and provinces/states (no args), one country's provinces (country), or one province's metros (province). Each place carries its slug, centroid, reach, and Wikidata / GeoNames identifiers.

  Parameters:

  • country — string — ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g. "CA".
  • province — string — Province slug, e.g. "alberta" — returns its metros.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_species

  One Farmdex species: names, taxonomy, description, its GBIF / Wikidata / ITIS identifiers, and its varieties or breeds. Resolve a food name to a species id first with search_farmdex.

  Parameters:

  • species (required) — string — species id, e.g. "cattle-taurus", "garlic".

• define_term

  Find My Farmer's definition of a farming practice (rotational grazing, grass-finished, no-till…): the meaning, the nuance, the questions to ask a farmer, FAQs, and how many farms claim it. Returns the term's stable IRI.

  Parameters:

  • term (required) — string — Practice slug ("rotational-grazing") or id ("rotationalGrazing"). An unknown term returns the full list.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_goods

  The goods Find My Farmer publishes reports and price statistics for — the slugs price_stats and find_near accept, each with the species and practices that define it.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_filters

  The controlled vocabularies find_near accepts: farming practice ids, service category slugs, event type slugs.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• best_for

  The best varieties of a species for a use — "best apple varieties for baking" — ranked from the Farmdex's documented tasting notes and trait spectra (1–5, relative to the species' reference variety). Pass species + use for the ranked answer; species alone lists the uses it can answer; use alone lists the species with an answer. A guide exists only once at least 3 documented varieties carry the use.

  Parameters:

  • use — string — a best-uses token, e.g. "baking", "canning", "fresh eating", "juicing".
  • limit — integer — Max varieties returned (default 25); the url carries the full guide.
  • species — string — species id from search_farmdex, e.g. "apple", "tomato".

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• compare

  Two Farmdex varieties head to head — "Honeycrisp vs Gala": documented tasting prose, uses, and (same species) 1–5 trait values on shared axes relative to the species' reference variety. Both variants must clear a completeness bar (description + >= 2 documented sensory/use fields). Machine-only — there is deliberately no compare page family; cite the two variety URLs returned.

  Parameters:

  • a (required) — string — first variant id, e.g. "apple-honeycrisp" (from search_farmdex / best_for).
  • b (required) — string — second variant id, e.g. "apple-gala".
