Statement about proposed change in Maine farmers' market law (pdf), adopted at the Annual Meeting on
28-Jan-10. The original wording change would have allowed 25% of the members of a farmers' market not to comply with the 75% rule. This wording was
introduced as a "place holder" for further discussion of changes to the law. Follow current progress on the bill (LD 1586) to change the law here.
Are there any other market documents we should have here?
Orono Farmers' Market is developing a document of Item Eligiblity
Criteria which goes into such things as whether ingredients of a processed product can be bought in or
must be produced by the member.
