点评:HUGE disappointment for those visiting from areas where there are REAL Farmers Markets (e.g. Northeast US). “A farmers market is a physical retail marketplace intended to sell foods directly by farmers to consumers” (Wikipedia). Most vendors were selling jewelry, clothing, knickknacks, etc. The very few vendors with produce were not selling from a particular farm (no farm sign), some produce had country of origin stickers (Honduras, Peru), but not at all stands, and some produce while not labeled were being sold out of season (blueberries on March 1 that were being marketed loose in plastic pint containers giving the impression they were local; Florida blueberry season starts in late March and is the first state with ripe fruit, so likely these were imported). Country of Origin Labeling is mandatory under a USDA law that has been in effect since 2009.
翻译:对于那些来自有真正的农贸市场(例如美国东北部)的地区的人来说,这是一个巨大的失望。“农贸市场是一个实体零售市场,旨在将农民直接向消费者销售食品”(维基百科)。大多数摊主都在卖珠宝、衣服、小摆设等。极少数卖农产品的摊主卖的不是来自某个特定的农场(没有农场标志),一些农产品贴有原产国标签(洪都拉斯、秘鲁),但并不是所有摊位都有,一些没有标签的农产品是过季销售的(3 月 1 日的蓝莓被散装在塑料品脱容器中销售,给人的印象是它们是当地的;佛罗里达州的蓝莓季节从 3 月下旬开始,是第一个成熟果实的州,所以这些蓝莓很可能是进口的)。根据自 2009 年起生效的美国农业部法律,原产国标签是强制性的。
