the department for a certified farmers' market sales permit.  A
certified farmers' market sales permit shall authorize the licensee,
a member of the licensee's family, or an employee of the licensee to
sell wine produced and bottled by the winegrower entirely from grapes
grown by the winegrower at a certified farmers' market at any place
in the state approved by the department.  The permit may be issued
for up to 12 months but shall not be valid for more than one day a
week at any single specified certified farmers' market location.  A
winegrower may hold more than one certified farmers' market sales
permit.  The department shall notify the city, county, or city and
county and applicable law enforcement agency where the certified
farmers' market is to be held of the issuance of the permit.  A

the Food and Agricultural Code, and the regulations adopted pursuant
thereto.

market sales permit shall not sell more than 5,000 gallons of wine
annually pursuant to all certified farmers' market sales permits held
by any single winegrower.  The licensed winegrower shall report
total certified farmers' market wine sales to the department on an
annual basis.  The report may be included within the annual report of
production submitted to the department, or pursuant to any
regulation as may be prescribed by the department.

be forty-four dollars ($44) for permits issued during the 2002
calendar year, forty-seven dollars ($47) for permits issued during
the 2003 calendar year, fifty dollars ($50) for permits issued during

subdivisions (b) and (c) of Section 23320.

deposited in the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund as provided in Section
25761.
