Corrections Policy

If you find an error on United Farmers Market, email contact@unitedfarmersmarket.com. We fix errors promptly, note material corrections at the bottom of the article with the date, and do not annotate minor typo fixes.

How to report an error

Send us:

• The URL of the page.
• The sentence or figure you believe is wrong.
• What you believe the correct information is, with a source if you have one. A statute, an agency page, a pricing page, or an extension bulletin is ideal.

You do not need to be certain. If something looks off, tell us and we will check it.

What happens next

We check the claim against the source recorded for it and against any source you provide. If the article was wrong, we change it. If the article was right but unclear, we may reword it. If we cannot resolve the question from primary sources, we say so in the article rather than leaving a confident statement standing.

We reply to the person who reported the error when we can, but we cannot promise a reply to every message.

Material corrections

A correction is material when the original text could have led a reader to a wrong decision or a wrong understanding. Examples:

• A wrong sales cap, fee, statute citation, deadline, or agency.
• A wrong temperature, time, or safety instruction in a recipe or food-safety piece.
• A wrong price, feature, or plan detail for a company or platform.
• A wrong historical date or a misread statistic.
• Attributing a rule to the wrong state or jurisdiction.

Material corrections are noted at the bottom of the article in a correction note that says what was wrong, what the text now says, and the date of the change. The note stays on the article. The article's "updated" date changes as well.

Minor fixes

Typos, spelling, punctuation, broken links, formatting, and wording changes that do not alter meaning are fixed without a note.

Updates that are not corrections

Laws, prices, and product features change after we publish. When we update an article because the world changed rather than because we were wrong, we revise the text, update the sources, and refresh the "reviewed" date. That is an update, not a correction, and it is handled by the review process described in our editorial standards. If an article was wrong at the time it was published, it gets a correction note even if the fix happens during a routine review.

Dates on articles

Every article shows a "reviewed" date, meaning the date the facts were last checked against their sources, and an "updated" date when the text has changed since first publication. State guides always show a reviewed date because their content depends on statute and agency guidance.

Retractions

If an article's central premise turns out to be wrong and cannot be fixed by correction, we will remove it and leave a note at the URL explaining why. We would rather correct than retract, and we expect this to be rare.

Errors in photographs and credits

If a photograph is mis-credited, mis-licensed, or used in a way its license does not allow, email contact@unitedfarmersmarket.com. We keep a registry of every image's source and license and will fix the credit or remove the image. See image credits.
