§ 1392.5. Producer Certification Procedures.
(a) A producer may become certified by applying to the county agricultural commissioner of the county where the producer's farm is located. Upon approval of a certified producer's certificate, issued by the county agricultural commissioner of the county where the producer's farm is located, a producer automatically becomes registered with the California Department of Food and Agriculture. A producer who farms in more than one county must be certified in each county where he/she produces certifiable agricultural products for sale at a certified farmers' market, or an outlet or location.
(1) Any revocation or suspension of a certified producer's certificate by the county agricultural commissioner or secretary, pursuant to Food and Agricultural Code section 47025, shall cause the concurrent revocation or suspension of the certified producer's registration with the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
(b) The certificate and application shall be on a form authorized by the secretary. Upon certification, the certified producer and all authorized representatives of the certified producer selling on behalf of the certified producer shall comply with the terms of this article, and the form must include the following:
(d) The county agricultural commissioner, upon the review of a producer's application, and determination that the applicant meets the requirements of a certified producer, shall issue only one original certificate, which bears the signatures of the agricultural commissioner and the certified producer, and the name of each destination county where the certified producer will be selling. The original certificate shall be maintained in the issuing county agricultural commissioner's office.
(f) The county agricultural commissioner shall issue an embossed photocopy of the original certified producer's certificate or a photocopy of the original certified producer's certificate with the county seal affixed to it to the certified producer, which will serve as the valid certified producer's certificate. Certified producers who intend to sell at more than one certified farmers' market must obtain the necessary number of valid photocopies of the original certificate from the issuing county to comply with the provisions of this article.
