Market Farming

[Peter Worsley <pwors AT svn.net>]

It's probably the record-keeping. I'm certified by the County of Marin, 
in northern CA. A group of us asked the county Ag Commisioner to set up 
a 3rd party certification program, acceptable to the Feds. They did. 
It's much less expensive, especially for small growers. The Ag 
Commisioner also inspects to ensure that all farmer's market vendors are 
conforming to the law. So we already know the people, and have been 
working with them  all along.

See if your state has a law requiring Ag Commisioners to implement a 
program, if asked to do so.

Good luck, Peter
