This section defines the phrase “direct marketing from farmers to consumers” for this chapter.
(a) Definition. In this chapter, “direct marketing from farmers to consumers” means marketing farm commodities at any marketplace—including roadside stands, city markets, and vehicles used for door-to-door marketing—that was established and is maintained so farmers can sell their commodities directly to individual consumers or organizations representing consumers. Farmers may sell individually or through an organization that directly represents the farmers who produced the commodities. The method must be intended to lower consumers’ food costs, improve food quality, and increase the farmers’ financial returns.
For purposes of this chapter, the term “direct marketing from farmers to consumers” shall mean the marketing of agricultural commodities at any marketplace (including, but not limited to, roadside stands, city markets, and vehicles used for house-to-house marketing of agricultural commodities) established and maintained for the purpose of enabling farmers to sell (either individually or through a farmers’ organization directly representing the farmers who produced the commodities being sold) their agricultural commodities directly to individual consumers, or organizations representing consumers, in a manner calculated to lower the cost and increase the quality of food to such consumers while providing increased financial returns to the farmers.
