I went to the local farmers market last weekend for the first time and they had an amazing turn out. They even had a farmer their selling fresh locally raised beef and pork.... Seeing all of this has got me thinking about trying to set up to sell some bbq up....
Things that I cant decide on..
How should I sell it? Was thinking vaccumm sealing it in 1# portions and just having some samples that are hot and ready...
If I go that route would it be crazy to try and sell some frozen... That way if I dont sell it all this weekend I could freeze and try to sell the next weekend.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
BOS I checked the website and it looks like the same kind of stuff I have seen every else. 3 seperate washing stations, hand washing station, etc. It does say that no food sold for retail is to cooked in a residence...
I went to the farmers market again yesterday and noticed that nobody was adhering to these rules that I could see. And all of the items that were prepared elseware ie baked goods, were labeled saying that they had not been inspected by the health dept... Wondering if thats a loophole...
Our two local farmers market coordinators offer cheat sheets to help new vendors navigate the rules. I wonder if talking to the event coordinator for your farmers market would help.
