accrediting program in Australia.

Victoria Farmers' Market Association offers accreditation to
farmers' markets in the state of Victoria. VFMA accredited stallholders
are either
- ones
that have gone through the VFMA accreditation process as farmers who
grow or raise the produce they sell
- OR specialty makers who source
their ingredients from regional Victoria or another stallholder direct.
To receive VFMA accreditation a market must be;
- A farmers' market in a metropolitan area with at least 90% of
the stallholders accredited by VFMA
- A regional
farmers� markets with at least 75% of the the stallholders accredited by
the VFMA .
