Farmers' markets
create a direct link from the farm to the city. Farmers carry their
goods to a central market where a density of consumers can view and
purchase fresh, local produce and value-added goods.
SEMAP is a regional coalition
of local growers, not-for-profit agencies, and educational and
governmental organizations that provides financial, technical, business,
outreach, and other support services to the agricultural sector in
Southeastern Massachusetts to help secure a secure and profitable future
for agriculture in the region.
