TITLE 7--AGRICULTURE
CHAPTER 63--FARMER-TO-CONSUMER DIRECT MARKETING
Sec. 3002. Definitions
For purposes of this chapter, the term ``direct marketing from
farmers to consumers'' shall mean the marketing of agricultural
commodities at any marketplace (including, but not limited to, roadside
stands, city markets, and vehicles used for house-to-house marketing of
agricultural commodities) established and maintained for the purpose of
enabling farmers to sell (either individually or through a farmers'
organization directly representing the farmers who produced the
commodities being sold) their agricultural commodities directly to
individual consumers, or organizations representing consumers, in a
manner calculated to lower the cost and increase the quality of food to
such consumers while providing increased financial returns to the
farmers.
