Certified Farmers' Market Registration

A registered Certified Farmers' Market is a place where California producers can sell what they grow directly to consumers, giving consumers access to California-grown produce and a chance to meet the farmers. This registration is for agricultural producers, non-profit organizations, or government agencies that administer a Certified Farmers' Market.  (Producers that desire to sell at Certified Farmers' Markets shall obtain a Farmers' Market Certified Producers Certificate).

For a list of market locations and times, refer to the Farmers Market Schedule.
