Check your state laws. Some states mandate that you cannot provide any type of butchering service. Better to be safe than sorry.SuburbanFarmChic said:
When you find out a legit answer, let me know. I am not that far from you and have been wondering the same thing. If I find out anything, I will let you know.ClintDowns said:
Yeah, meant to phrase that differently to indicate to check for both. In WV if you are processing under 1000 a year you can process and sell but need to keep track of your own everything and you are recorded but not inspected. Something like that.quiltnchik said:
X2! Last year I brought live rabbits to our farmers market one week, and delivered dressed rabbits the following week. Word got around, and now I have repeat customers and usually have a waiting list.SuburbanFarmChic said:
I think it depends. Some locations, according to my understanding, is that both USDA and FDA may require inspections. Some do not. If it does, the costs are so great that it makes it near impossible to sell meat and make a profit.smiles-n-sunshine said:
I think that's part of the problem. There is a lack of "rules and regulations" from the departments that interpretation can swing both ways... both extremely over-regulated and then without any clear regulations at all. And when they do clearly define the regulations, it will bite us in the backside. But without it, it's hard to do anything safely. It's almost a catch 22.smiles-n-sunshine said:
