Many markets widen their appeal by including garden plants and handcrafts and by inviting local producers to attend their markets, giving the public real choice and a unique opportunity to see the varsity of food produced on a small scale locally. All Farmers' Markets and individual stall holders are expected to meet the same standards of health, safety and labeling as any other retail outlet The definition of a Farmers' Market is a market in which farmers, growers and producers sell their produce direct to the public. All foods/products sold should have been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, smoked, or made/ prepared by the producer. Local growers and producers take personal pride in the food they bring to their Farmers' Market and want you to enjoy it. The emphasis is on freshness, quality and value for money, Buying locally means you can ask how the food is produced and grown and at the same time customer feedback is appreciated by the producers. Buying locally also reduces food miles and the stages in the food chain from fork to plate. It puts money back into the local rural economy thereby sustaining and creating jobs.
