SHOPPING TIPS: Bring lots of small bills and change; you will be paying at each individual farmer's stand. Bring large cloth or net shopping bags.; It will save multiple trips to your car to unload. Make sure you know where your car keys are. The number one lost and found items are car keys; nine times out of ten the shopper unconsciously puts the keys in one of the produce bags. Most of the produce is unsorted and field run; some of the best tasting fruit is cosmetically challenged. Most of the produce is vine or tree ripened; this means they can be delicate to the touch. This is fruit only found direct from the grower. It is too fragile to ship to the wholesale market. If the farmer is not too busy, do not hesitate to ask questions about recipes or growing methods. You might even get to know each other's name. Have patience with the growers. They are not polished sales people, and they are under a lot of stress. Smile at them and appreciate them. If you do, you will find them smiling back and appreciating you in return. That is what certified farmers' markets are really about; smiles and mutual appreciation; families growing food for families; Californians supporting California [Source: California Federation of Certified Farmers]
