Can I be stricter than the criteria specifies about what producers are allowed at the market, say for example only allowing organic produce?
Certainly, if asked we will support the market’s chosen criteria by pointing out that it is perfectly acceptable and the manager’s (or management committee’s) decision is what counts. Environmental credentials are important but do bear in mind that many areas of the country will not have enough organic producers to supply a regular and varied market. You may find that in order to run a successful organic market, with a variety of stalls, you would have to find producers from outside of our recommended 30 mile radius, if there are other producers closer to hand, offering the same produce FARMA would prefer to see both sorts of producers, and have organic and non organic produce side by side. This would mean more choice for the customer, which would be brilliant, and the results might be surprising! Always check organic claims however – organic certification comes with a current certificate from one of the certifying bodies. If you are in any doubt please give us a call.
