Hi, folks
FYI, there is a proposed bill in committee in the US House of Representatives which would require Federal inspection of all fruits and vegetables sold--even from small artisan growers. A $500 initial registration fee is proposed. There is an article about it at this link:

For Farmers and Consumers Defending the Right to Buy and Protecting the
Right to Sell Nutritious Food Directly from the Farm

It MIGHT be a good idea to contact your US Representative while the bill is still in committee--BEFORE it becomes law.
