Organic Farming

One of the most important things to consider is just because a vendor does not have a certified Organic license issued they still might use organic practices. The hardest part of becoming a qualified organic vendor sometimes is the process that many do not go through.  While there’s no formal or universal definition for organic farming, it can be defined as one or more systems of production which don’t use synthetic fertilizers, man-made pesticides, herbicides, growth regulators, antibiotics, hormone stimulants and/or livestock feed additives to grow crops and raise animals. Organic farmers that raise livestock and animals are deemed not to use hormones, antibiotics, or food that uses synthetic fertilizers. Farmers that uses practice these technique uses the environments own ecosystems to their advantage, by recycling, reusing, and renewing life. The return what would be waste into their ecosystems causing little carbon footprints. Although we believe Organic Farming a great way to produce goods we do not believe in no way it is the only way. We believe in all types of farming to promote health and protect the end consumer.

Our Farmers Market Begins April 22, 2012 at Harbor Village Mall at 270 capistrano road Half Moon Bay Ca 94019 Sundays Year Round 10-4

How to sell at a certified farmers market: Agriculture and Non- Agriculture

Oh the season has begun for farmers, producers, and food enthusiasts around California. For what you might ask? Farmers Markets! We are excited to launch our farmers market April 22 2012 on Sundays from 10-4 at Harbor Village in Half Moon Bay. We want to invite everyone out. Most people know how to find farmers markets, but most people do not how to get certified to sell at one. We want to lay out a quick guide on getting approved to sell in California. You have to be approved to sell at the market by the governing association before market managers can accept you.




Some things you will need and need to know
• The need for certification as a producer (if you wish to sell at a certified farmers' market)
• the need to meet labeling requirements -- particularly if selling prepackaged or closed container products, or selling for commercial resale
• The need for a health department permit if selling non-agricultural food products
• Specifications as to "organic" labeling.




If you are interested in becoming a Certified Producer, please contact the county office in which the market is located or in which you wish to sell your commodity.
Apply online: http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/egov/farmersmarket/
http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/is/apply_register.html


For San Mateo County producers certificate contact:
Erin Herbst. Biologist/Standards Specialist. San Mateo County Dept. of Agriculture/Weights & Measures. (650) 363-4700. eherbst@smcgov.org
1220 N Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 • (916) 900-5030 FAX (916) 900-5347 • email: cfm@cdfa.ca.gov

For Non- agriculture products:
All most go through county of the governing health department. If you are a producer you do not need to go through department of health, and vise versa. Department of health is only for non-agriculture goods.
For all non-agriculture items our governing body is San Mateo County Health Department.
Contact: Aniie Nantz Contact 650-372-6288. http://www.smchealth.org/

After you have all this, typically, the Market Manager decides who gets to sell at that market. Selection criteria vary by market or group of markets. Once you have compliance from these levels you will have access to start selling at all farmers markets in California. We hope this has helped you in becoming a vendor.
