FARMER: Agricultural From farmers who raise, cultivate and harvest their produce, herbs, flowers and nursery crops to sell at the Market. Also included are items from beekeepers, egg, dairy and meat producers and fishermen and farmers who process their own raw product into “value-added” items.
FARMER: Prepared/Processed Foods From those who offer fresh food products they have processed themselves into products for sale. These are ready-to-eat or pre-packaged items.
