Using Google Sheets to Find a Producer
Using the Google Sheet "find" feature

The link to the Google Sheet can be found on the map page above the map.
After the Google Sheet opens, to SEARCH for a town or product: Press Ctrl + F (Windows) or Cmd + F (Mac) on your keyboard to open the Find tool.
Then type your search word or phrase into the Find field and press enter. You will see a box like this:
showing the search word and numbers that indicate how many times the word is included on the spreadsheet. We recommend being as specific as possible to limit the number of finds.
Each instance of the search word will be highlighted on the spreadsheet in green. Using the up and down arrows will move through all the highlighted boxes in the spreadsheet that include that word.
