Every farm has its own unique story. Some are novels dating back generations and others contain only a few chapters. The tale of Norma’s Produce spans almost 30 years. It begins in Mexico and winds through five American states to Virginia’s Northern Neck.

Firearm Free Zones and Farmers Markets
Several County Park Authorities have set up firearm-free zones for parks and public buildings...and we want to know how your market is handling this matter.
Does your market address firearm free zones? Are you creating maps? What areas are you designating as firearm-free? Are you including parking lots, sidewalks along the market, etc?
Any information that you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kim
