Cambrian Park Farmers’ Market

Certified Farmers’ Markets are instrumental in preserving the diversity of California agriculture by providing marketing outlets for the small acreage growers of heirloom, culinary, ethnic, organic, no pesticide, and other specialty crops not widely grown on a large scale or found at traditional food sources.

It’s also refreshing to know that one is buying food directly from the producer of that product, something required at a “Certified” farmers’ market. Notice the “Growers Certificate” visibly hanging at the farmer’s stand. This certificate is issued by the County Agriculture Commissioner authorizing them to sell only the certain crops listed and grown by them. The interaction between you and the farmer is also a nice value in visiting the farmers’ market.
