Karie Brinker of the Butte County Office of Education and Community Health Alliance of Oroville talks about farmers markets and their role in the future of the community at last weeks Fire House Certified Farmers Market.
Wind and fire did not stop our farmers from showing up and selling at the farmers market this last Thursday. We had 7 farmers set up their booths, including three new ones. 
Our mission is to facilitate, improve and maintain healthy lifestyles by increasing access to fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts, and opportunities for physical activities and using the consumer safe food shopping environments created by certified farmers markets to develop grassroots community leadership to maximize human health.
We work collaboratively with schools & community service organizations to do outreach, research, raise funds, and deliver health services (including WIC and Food Stamp EBT of Certified Farmers Markets) by providing for their public health service integration into the consumer-safe food delivery environments created by farm&garden to table food and information exchange forums such as farmers markets.
