About
The Certified Farmers' Markets provide the most convenient and direct way for the consumer to purchase produce that has only traveled from the farm to the Certified Farmers' Market, not the circuitous route from the field to the packing house, then the wholesale broker who sells it to a supermarket, and finally to the consumer. Produce sold at a Certified Farmers' Market is usually picked the morning of the market or, at the longest time, the night before. Often the produce has traveled less than 10 miles to reach the consumer. The person selling produce to you is usually the same person who planted the seeds, tended the plants and picked it. He or she can inform you of the produce's unique characteristics, show you the difference between varieties, offer hints for storage, or provide delicious recipes.
The vendors at a Certified Farmers' Market have been inspected by their local Agriculture Department. Each farmer has a list of the products they grow on display in their sales booth. This is the consumer's assurance that the products they are purchasing were grown by the person selling them. The Certified Farmers' Market is the only Farmers' Market to offer the consumer this type of guarantee that the products they are purchasing are fresh, local, and direct from the farmer.
