What is a farmers' market?
The Victorian Farmers' Markets Association (VFMA) defines an authentic farmers' market as "a predominantly local fresh food and produce market that operates regularly at a public location which provides a suitable environment for farmers and food producers to sell their farm origin product and their associated value added primary products directly to customers."
