  National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (U.S.). Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, & Obesity.
• Description:
  A farmers market is where farmers sell agricultural products directly to consumers at a central or fixed location. They provide an easy location for people to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, and other food items1 and may help communities get healthier fresh food at a price they can afford.
  
  Since 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO) has provided guidance and funding to state health departments to support activities around farmers markets. A recent CDC study identifies common state farmers market activities supported by DNPAO over an 11-year period.
