Restaurants and nonprofit organizations can assist in bringing California-grown products to all Californians.(h) A regulatory scheme should be developed that provides the flexibility that will make direct marketing a viable marketing system.(i) The department should assist producers in organizing certified farmers’ markets, field retail stands, farm stands, community-supported agriculture, and other forms of direct marketing by providing technical advice on marketing methods and in complying with the regulations that affect direct marketing programs.(j) The department is encouraged to establish an ad hoc advisory committee to assist the department in establishing regulations affecting direct marketing of products and to advise the secretary in all matters pertaining to direct marketing.(Amended by Stats. 2014, Ch. 579, Sec. 3.
