State Farmers’ Markets assist in the marketing of farm products by providing modern marketing facilities necessary to move farm products from the farm to the consumer. There are 13 State Farmers’ Markets that offer attendant services such as produce refrigeration, truck weigh scales, packing houses, 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 assured for both small and large growers and buyers.
