California farmers and shoppers participate in a Certified Farmers Market at 6th<\/sup> Street and Capitol Mall in Sacramento on August 1. <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

During National Farmers Market Week August 4-10, we encourage you to visit one of the 675 CDFA Certified Farmers Markets in California. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDFA\u2019s role at Certified Farmers Markets is to facilitate the sale of California-grown agricultural products while maintaining sufficient regulatory control to ensure they\u2019re of acceptable quality, and that selling activities are conducted honestly and fairly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What differentiates a Certified Farmers Market from other farmers markets? It is in a location approved by the respective county agricultural commissioner and its California-grown agricultural products are sold directly to the public by producers and certified producers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulations once required California farmers to pack, size and label their fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables in standard containers to sell in markets anywhere other than the farm site. Then, in 1977, CDFA Direct Marketing regulations exempted farmers from these standardization requirements when certified producers directly market their California-grown agricultural products to the public at Certified Farmers Markets. Benefits include providing consumers the opportunity to meet the farmer and learn how their food supply is produced, as well as the ability for small farmers to market their products without the added expenses of commercial preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDFA inspects Certified Farmers Markets to ensure quality of agricultural products and that selling activities are honest and fair.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certified Farmers Markets are regulated by CDFA\u2019s Direct Marketing Program<\/a>\nof the Inspection and Compliance Branch in the Inspection Services Division, in\ncollaboration with California\u2019s 58 county agricultural commissions. There are\ncurrently 675 Certified Farmers Markets throughout California, and\napproximately 60% of them are seasonal. That equates to more than 28,000 annual\nmarketing events. Certified Farmers Market inspectors conducted approximately\n2,800 inspections and investigations this past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click\nhere<\/a> to learn more about starting a Certified Farmers Market in your area,\nbecoming a certified producer, or learning which certified producers already\nare in your county. There also is information about the Certified Farmers\nMarket Advisory Committee, including dates of upcoming meetings as they\u2019re\ndetermined, previous meeting minutes and how\nto apply to be a member of the committee<\/a>, which is composed of six certified\nproducers, six Certified Farmers Market managers, one public member, one\nagricultural commissioner and alternates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional CDFA Connections to Farmers Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The California\nNutrition Incentive Program<\/a> (CNIP) in the CDFA Office of Farm to Fork\n(CDFA-F2F) encourages the purchase and consumption of California-grown fresh\nfruits, vegetables and nuts to CalFresh shoppers through a dollar-to-dollar\nmatch at Certified Farmers Markets. For every CalFresh benefit dollar spent,\nCalFresh shoppers receive an additional CNIP dollar that can be spent on fruits\nand vegetables at the market, within set parameters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CDFA Senior Farmers\nMarket Nutrition Program<\/a> provides low-income seniors a $20 check booklet to\npurchase produce, herbs and honey at Certified Farmers Markets. CDFA encourages\nmore certified markets and producers to participate\nin this program<\/a> by applying for free, attending an interactive training and\naccepting the checks at their market\/farm stall. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
