Farmers Markets and Commodity Regulations

Mar 23, 2010

Farmers markets are a great place for farmers to sell their produce and for the public to support local agriculture . These regular events around our county attract many people.

Who regulates our local farmers markets? The County of Ventura Agricultural Commissioner’s office is responsible for this task. Their website has a great collection of information for both farmers and consumers. Useful links can be found at the site, including:

  • California Dept. of Food and Agriculture Certified Farmers Market program and other related programs
  • California Organic Program
  • National Organic Program
  • Local Fresh Food Guide
  • Ventura County Certified Farmers Markets
