I have been trying to slowly build up a fruit garden, mostly soft fruit bushes, it is coming along very slowly ::) However here is were I need some advice..... How do I sell soft fruit during the summer season to supplement income without it being a growing and selling business on its own? I don't want to go down the route of setting up another business, so how do I get it from garden to customer? Also what are the rules and regulations on this? as I have never, ever done this before. I hope this isn't too big of a question to ask and I await your advice on the matter.
Thanks
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

I don't understand the difficulty - just do it as part of the existing business.
