Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew much about the legalities in setting up a Market Garden?
I'm starting off very small...simply my back garden to start with. My intention is to grow as much produce as possible to sell at farm gate and then, if production allows, move onto Farmer Markets. I want to grow microgreens around the year too. This year has been successful for feeding me and the family, so will ramp things up next year.
Now, from what I understand I have to price individually or, for more than one, using metric weights i.e. price per kg etc. It also seems that I need to take out insurance with at least £5m in public protection liability.
Does anyone know about other requirements? I was reading about food businesses needing to make records of food safety and follow Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point principles. But nowhere could I actually find WHAT these are and HOW to record them.
I've contacted my local council as I'm already registered as a food business for selling eggs, but thought I'd ask here in the meantime....you lot often have words of wisdom.
