One of the key principles of our farmers market is that the consumers have a direct relationship with the producer. This means that the person selling goods at our markets is the person who made or grew those goods.

Market Steering Committee
The Orange County HomeGrown Farmers Markets Steering Committee meets in late winter before the market season begins and, if necessary, on occasion during the season. The committee acts in an advisory and decision-making capacity regarding policy matters that affect the markets and vendors. If a vendor, volunteer, or customer has a concern or suggestion, that person should put the request in writing with a signature and give it to one of the steering committee members. The issue can then be addressed by the committee.
