North County Farmers Market Association (NCFMA) was established in 1985 to serve the local community with farm fresh, locally made goods all while providing a place for local farmers to sell their goods. All of our markets are certified farmers markets. A certified farmers market is permitted by the county agriculture commissioner and then inspected and held to standards by the county agricultural department. Which means you are guaranteed that the products at our markets are locally grown, seasonal and sold by the direct farmer or an employee. NCFMA operates as a true farmers market and only allows farmers and food purveyours to be a part of our markets. NCFMA gives membership and space to farmers first. We also invite food purveyors as guests to be a part of our farmers markets. NCFMA is comprised of four different markets: Baywood, Paso Robles, Atascadero, and Templeton. We operate year round, rain or shine. A market is only closed in the instance of dangerous weather. Check out our Facebook, Instagram, or give us a call if you are questioning a market being open!
