Farmer's Market Legality

Hello all... I was curious. A friend of mine sells produce at the local Farmer's Market. He would be interested in having me sell some edibles at his booth. IForgive me if this question has been asked... I've looked at numerous posts on this tgeneral topic and have not found an answer.
What are the legalities concerning mushroom sale? Seeing America's paranoia of mushrooms I imagine there is some sort of license or verification or something... any help? This is WA state by the way.
Much love

He might need to register with the FDA. If he's growing and selling them directly at farmers markets himself, no inspection or registration is required. If he's selling to a grocery store or wholesaler, he must register. It seems like a gray area if you're selling them for him. You can contact the WSU agriculture extension office in your county to get the scoop. RR

Better hurry on that one because Muslim Hussein Fagbama wants to pass the so called 'safe food bill' which will make it illegal for ANYONE to sell ANYTHING that they grew.
Basically Fuckbama wants to make damn sure that ONLY multi national food producing empires can sell food, crops, etc... Feelin safer yet? FUCK HIM, but you'll be a criminal for selling anything you have produced once that bill is passed. No more vegetable stands along the side of the road, etc...
It's not BS either ... check it out.

NIN is right, the gov wants to make (has made) this in to a huge complicated, bureaucratic mess.
if I were you i would say fuck em and go sell your shrooms. unless they specifically tell you to register whatever, don't bother.

Also ANYTHING organic will be unavailable/prohibited. Not that organic actually means organic these days, but you get the point.
All we will have to choose from at the store will be genetically engineered, steroid packed, preservative saturated, and processed garbage.
Staying healthy means that only the minority can grow their own ... or will we need a permit, a license, and a bureaucrat to give us permission.
Gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling every time I think about it.

the FDA cant monitor the roadside stands, and the government cant tax them...
its basically an illegal business...
its really not that hard to get approval, they are just trying to make it safer to some extents and more profitable for them (which is sort of wrong)
trust me when the FDA saves your life by taking a piece of contaminated lettuce or strawberries out of your hands you will thank them.
they aren't always the bad guys.
oh yeah, and its not obamas agenda here, its the cabinets agenda.

The FDA doesn't do squat until something bad already happens.
Since we can't think for ourselves then the FDA must step in to figure it out for us. The FDA doesn't approve anything these days so we just have to 'comply'. If something bad happens then it is possible that it could be found that you 'did not comply' therefore making you 'non compliant/liable'.
It’s impossible to comply 100% so it’s simple to knock out the small guys just to promote the big guys who have the money and time dedicated to deal with such BS. Small farms have been going out of business for years and that’s not due to our current so called ‘bad economy’ either. Most of those reasons are due to the brainless regulations/stipulations put forth by the FDA and other bureaucracies that were put in place to promote the multinational food producers.
It has NOTHING to do with right or wrong, good or bad; it just about control. Sounds wacky? Sounds like conspiracy theory? It’s not … that’s just the way it has always been, but it’s just getting worse these days. Writing you congressmen will not do squat because they are not equipped to deal with such matters and do not have the power even if they were capable. Shit flows downhill not up.
Oh ... it's NOT Obama's agenda. Well that's just convenient considering Hillary is right by his side (remember Tyson?). I only 1/2 agree with you there considering Obama isn't in control ... he is just a puppet.

There are no license/permit requirements to sell mushrooms or any fruits/vegetables in a farmers market or roadside stand. All farmer's markets will require you to have 1million in business insurance though, and its a good idea to get insured anyhow incase something goes wrong and someone gets sick/allergic etc..
Permits are only required for prepared food with the exception of baked goods like pies and cookies. If you were selling mushroom kakbobs you would need a license.

Adaptation never creates a new species or trait, but rather the new species/trait always existed within the parent DNA until circumstances allowed it to be activated. For instance, every wolf has the DNA for poodles, but that DNA would never be revealed without man selectively breeding for it.

More people have died from hail than tainted food. It’s an unjustified bill.
It’s a similar situation with machine guns (class 3 weapons). ONLY 1 incident has ever occurred with a legally registered machine gun … and it was a cop who committed the crime. So how can it be justified to restrict them as it has been done? There is no justification … it’s about control. Once control has been given it has NEVER been given back.

what the fuck man no Organics or what we call organics..............I am just starting a few month organic vegan diet to cleans the body from years of opiate addiction and you guys are telling me that they are going to make small family organic farms illegal what the fuck or place stronger regulations on them so they cannot make a living and close down anyway. It is hard enough to organiclly produce produce and there are too few of these as is so why would they want to hurt this movement
Fuck big brother

they are inspecting stuff from food processing plants and farms to determine if its bad...
and they are going to offer help for small businesses to become compliant if they need improvement.

Who said Bush wasn't a bastard?
Don't be naive to think that such large scale plans aren't meant to span beyond one administration of our national theatrical representatives.
You're right, this has gone too far. This has absolutely nothing to do with home cultivation of edible mushrooms, distribution, or the sale of said mushrooms.
