How can I sell at en-form

The general rule for being able to sell at a Farmers’ Market is that

you are either a Primary (eg beef farmer) or Secondary (eg baker) producer

that you produce your wares within a specified radius, normally 30 miles of the market

In the case of processed goods, where ingredients are available that have been grown or raised locally, then these ingredients must be used in preference to others

In addition, some markets’ allow non food stalls such as garden plants
