A farmers' market is one in which farmers, growers or producers from a defined local area are present in person to sell their own produce, direct to the public.

All products sold should have been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, smoked or processed by the stallholder.

September is Farmers' Market Month through the National Farmers' Retail & Markets Association.
