[NAFEX] selling home produce legalities

["del stubbs" <pinewoodel@hotmail.com>]

The largest quantity  of  fruit our place should eventually produce is 
apples. I have little worry about getting rid of them. But the various 
berrries and bush fruits I have  -  started as  a dream to produce jams etc 
to sell eventually.

Ed's comment about his crandalls....."Mine top out at about 4 feet and get 
so heavy with fruit that they fall over." Brought this subject back to mind, 
as I am putting in a lot of ribes.    I just last week heard what could be 
very good news about a new regulation for home producers in Minnesota, and I 
wonder if it isn't more widespread elsewhere than is recognized.    This is 
a new food regulation that you do not have to have a health department  
fully approved stainless kitchen   (can be quite expensive and overkill for 
sanitation)....if you clearly post a sign saying " Produced in an 
uninspected kitchen".      The person who spoke of this was shut down from 
selling bread at a local farmer's market for lack of inspection, but is now 
legally able to sell.    Del
