Existing law provides for the direct marketing of agricultural produce, including through certified farmers' markets, field retail stands, or farm stands, subject to specified conditions. This bill would authorize a victory garden grower, as defined, that files a notice with, and pays a $50 filing fee to, the county agricultural commissioner to sell fruits, nuts, or vegetables that he or she grows in his or her garden directly to the public, including at a farmers' market, or to a retailer or distributor or others, within a 15-mile radius from the garden. The license would be effective upon the filing of the notice and payment of the fee and would be renewable annually. A licensed victory garden grower would be subject to applicable state and local laws and ordinances, except as provided. Because this bill would impose new duties on local agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. A violation of any of these provisions would be a misdemeanor. Because this bill would create a new crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
