State farmers markets assist in the marketing of farm products by providing information, leadership and modern marketing facilities necessary to move farm products from the farm to the consumer. Providing a convenient, dependable place through which producers and buyers may carry on the process of marketing, helps to ensure that the consumer receives a better quality product at a reasonable price and the producer receives a fair return.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services operates a system of 12 state farmers markets. These markets offer attendant services such as produce refrigeration, truck weigh scales, packinghouses, coolers, offices, farm supply, restaurants, and produce brokerage sales as well as produce and freight shipping companies. Through volume production and marketing, effective competition is ensured for both small and large growers and buyers.
The markets generally are active on a seasonal basis, operating up to 24 hours daily. Self-supporting, other than the capital investment, these markets are maintained through income derived from a combination of package fees, packinghouse, cooler and offices rentals and truck scale fees.
