Comments (1)this is a local issue and what the rules are here in VA may not apply in NJ. i wouldn't hesitate to sell dried herbs without a certified kitchen. there's no processing involved....See MoreQuestion about selling dry herbs in Ct
Comments (5)Oh, and if you're selling sachets and things those are "crafts" and will be a business, not a farm AFAIK and you will need to collect sales tax, file a Schedule C, though I don't know if you need to register as a business and get an EIN if you keep it small. My sister has friends who sell a lot of lavendar products, and I know someone who sells soap and knitted (not from her sheep, she only has goats) washcloths and such, I could ask them what they do for those products since they also sell eggs and farm "produce" (edible) - though a lot of people make goats milk soap instead of cheese, etc. b/c there are just so many regulations and expense involved with a dairy. I also know someone who used to sell at New Hartford market who has a commercial kitchen and does dried herb mixes, bean soup mixes, etc. so you will be competing with established business if you pursue this line. It might be worth looking into a wholesale market (with your acreage, all in herbs?!) with her and/or restaurants, the mom and pop grocery store down on Rte 44, etc....See Moredo fresh herbs sell at the farmers market?
Comments (2)Our local FM has small bundles of cut herbs sold by the organic grower that seem to sell out quickly. I know that I always look for hers when I don't have any of my own. (I won't buy herbs that aren't organic. )...See Moreetznab
