Thank you
I'm sure we will be fine the rest. Our event is listed as a private event open to the public. This apparently changes the rules on homemade items being sold. The fairgrounds likened it to a bake sale. Now if it was listed as a market, or public event, public fair, etc, then a lot more rules would apply. Apparently the dairy thing is something totally out of even this realm. The fairgrounds has held many events like ours that sell similar craft and food items and it has not been a problem. I spoke at length about this with them. We could even sell alcohol if I wanted to put out the $100 to get a license. It is probably just a good thing for people selling food items to have a sign on their table that these items are from a home kitchen. I have been told that covers everything just fine. Nutcakes is just fine selling their food since they have a license which covers them for everywhere they go. The poultry has all been cleared and everything else is not of concern to the government. I'm pretty sure we aren't going to get any of the local organic veggie growers jumping on us since what is coming to the swap is so minimal. Can't say about the honey but I doubt there is an issue. People sell honey out of their homes here in Philomath - large signs in their yard. No one is jumping on them about it. And yes, this was just another example of big brother and someone who feels very strongly about her hobby/profession. I'm cool with that. I'm putting it behind me and moving forward.
Our honey is extracted by a licensed honey house, that makes it legal for us to sell anywhere off the farm
Thank you
