In addition, the Farmer-to-Consumer Direct Marketing Act of 1976 supports USDA’s work to enhance the effectiveness of direct marketing, such as the development of farmers markets, on-farm markets, CSA’s and food hubs. On-farm markets, community supported agriculture (CSA) as well as food hubs comprise an integral part of the urban/farm linkage and have continued to rise in popularity, mostly due to the growing customer interest in obtaining fresh products directly from the farm.

The survey will cover topics such as: characteristics and history of on-farm markets; CSAs and food hubs; types of products sold, including fresh, locally-grown farm products; location of the markets, special events, marketing methods, participation in federal VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:56 Apr 28, 2014 Jkt 232001 programs designed to increase consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.
