Poultry most I have seen run Tractors, selling as Free Range, if you have Facilities you can so many a year, butchered on your place, no inspection. You have to check with USDA on regulations.

Vegetable Produce sells well in season, if you sell by weight you have to have your scales certified, which is no problem.

You may consider selling Honey and or Sorghum Molasses. They always sell well.

Only time we had problems selling from our place is when we had Amish or Mennonites living in the area.

What seemed to be the problem with Amish/Mennonites?
