Prior to that,\u00a0regulations required farmers to properly pack, size and label their fresh fruits, nuts, and vegetables in standard containers to transport and sell anywhere other than the farm site. The action by Governor Brown recognized the importance of direct farmer-to-consumer sales, and these markets are now part of the fabric of many communities throughout the state.\u00a0 People are more interested than ever in local food and in having relationships with the people who produce it. Farmers markets are perfectly positioned for this.<\/p>\n<p>Certified farmers&#8217; markets are an important source of fresh produce to many seniors and low-income families who can purchase fruits and vegetables through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/seniorfarmersmrktnutritionprgm\/\">Senior Farmers&#8217; Market Nutrition Program<\/a>; the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fns.usda.gov\/wic\/\">Women, Infants and Children\u2019s (WIC)<\/a> Supplemental Nutrition Program; and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calfresh.ca.gov\/\">CalFresh program<\/a>. \u00a0\u00a0Over the years, farmers&#8217; markets have evolved to offer a diverse array of farm products to include meat and fish products, cheeses, olive oil, wine, flowers and more!<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s true \u2013 every week <em>is <\/em>Farmers Market Week.
