😤💪🏽Buckle up Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market customers, we're going to break down a big part of what it is we stand for.
Thank you on Insta for the opportunity to highlight our Certified Farmers Market and this little known thing coming up in our county ✨Farm Day✨
Maybe you've wondered what the "Certified" part of our title stands for? Certified means, to us, that everyone in our membership is Certified by the Agricultural Department that they grow what they sell. We partner with County Ag. to ensure that all our Farmers are held accountable for what they bring to market. We strive to know Where they grow, What they grow, How they grow and Who our Farmers are. Each stand has a banner with that farm's business name, county of operation and a growers permit that has their farm address and a list of what they grow. You can ask to see this, it's updated yearly! County Ag and our staff visit our Farmers and their farms. It helps us to better know seasonal produce, different growing climates/locations and how to help advertise our Farmers.
There are some products that are outside county Ag certification ie: meat, fish, honey and anything processed in a commercial kitchen. Our Markets are run by Farmers so we require that all our vendors are singular producers of their product. This means that when you buy from a Farmer/Rancher/ Fishermen/ Bee Keeper at our market you are buying from the business that grows and produces that product.
That brings us to Farm Day! Santa Barbara County Farm Day is coming up on Sept 19th. Visit our participating Farms and see where they grow, get a full tour with fun activities. Learn about food production, farm function and put your mouth where your money is.
