Definitions
Fresh produce grown or produced locally within a 150 km radius of the Clarence Valley, sold directly from farm to consumer. With limited approved exceptions for certified organic or specialty products unavailable locally.
Primary produce is an agricultural product in its natural and raw state. For example vegetables, fruit, meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, eggs, honey, nuts, grains and pulses, herbs, cut flowers, and food plants.
Value-added products use one or more primary products to make a finished product. At least 60% (of finished weight) must come from ingredients that have been grown in the Lower Clarence 150km radius. The remaining 40% must be Australian ingredients. The value adder is responsible for, exercises control over and participates in the manufacture of the product i.e. baked goods, pasta, preserves, ready meals and pastries.
Farm based: Products deriving from ingredients that have been grown and value added on the farm/property (or fished) by a person who is responsible for, and exercises control over the final product being sold.
Non-farm based: Products deriving from one or more primary products obtained from numerous Clarence Valley based sources and combined to create a value-added product.
Plant based: Products that are plants, flowers, seeds and compost. These can only be sold by ‘Farm Based’ businesses.
Non-food products: Products that are made from primary product/s where at least 70% of the final weight of the non-food item must be a product for which the stallholder is authorised to sell as a food item or a direct by-product from the production of this food item. The non-food item must be 1-step transformed. 1-step transformed means the primary product has undergone 1 transformative process. These products can only be sold by businesses selling ‘Farm Based’ products.
Market Mix: A policy set by the Maclean Harvest Market management which provides guidelines for market management to determine a sustainable vendor mix of produce within the market at any one time.
