The Southland Farmers Market Association (SFMA) is a non-profit organization that represents certified farmers' markets in the Southland region of California. With a history of major accomplishments and a commitment to ethical practices, SFMA promotes direct buying from local growers, allowing consumers to ask questions, sample produce, and develop relationships with the farmers at their member markets. SFMA also offers consulting services, market news, and resources for both market managers and growers.
Southland recently opened two new certified farmers' markets in Panorama City and Fontana, expanding their network of markets where consumers can buy fresh, locally grown products. Additionally, SFMA advocates for the exemption of certified farmers' markets from special event and street closure fees in Los Angeles, ensuring that these markets remain accessible to the community. Through their efforts, SFMA aims to create a thriving local food system that benefits both farmers and consumers in the Southland region.
