November 8, 2010 - CCOF Attends Farmers Market Listening Session
CCOF Program and Members Services Specialist, Tina Cosentino, attended and testified on behalf of the CCOF
certified community at the Berkeley farmers market listening session hosted by the California Department of Food
and Agriculture (CDFA). An investigative report by NBC-LA revealed false claims of “pesticide free” products, and
vendors falsely claiming to be growers who were really just reselling products purchased at wholesale markets.
CDFA hosted four sessions across the state to solicit input from farmers market managers, farmers, organic
certifiers, and consumers on how to improve and protect the integrity of the certified farmers market system. CDFA
will be forming an ad hoc committee to review these comments and make recommendations to improve the system in the
first quarter of 2011. Read CCOF Comments.

It inspires me to make sure we are providing the best service to them we can.”
