Q: What is a Certified Farmers Market?

A: The Certified Farmers Market concept is an effort to re-establish the traditional link between farmers and consumers in California. Put simply, certified farmers markets (CFM's) are "the real thing", places where the genuine farmers sell their crops directly to the public. It is where the agrarian community relates
to the urban community.

More specifically, a CFM is a location approved by the county agricultural commissioner where certified farmers offer for sale only those agricultural products they grow themselves. California Certified Farmers Markets are operated in accordance with regulations established in 1977 by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

Only a handful of CFM's were in the California direct marketing program back then. There are over 350 communities with Certified Farmers Markets in the State now and the number is growing every year. This rare meeting of farmers and consumers serves as an educational experience whereby customers learn about their food sources and have access to nutritional information.
