I agree, but it's the only game around. Might not end up working out.

Some of the markets have rules that you can not leave before the market closes. This is understandable depending on where you're situated at the market. So you just schmooze the crowd and tell them you will bring more the next time.

You guys gotta get your sauces and rubs in production. Bet you could make a mint with them after the meat runs out. I was thinking about selling Brethren rubs and sauces to fill in the time. i don't know if i will even try to do a sauce or rub in the foreseeable future.

Maybe we will start selling Bigmista's Brand New Funk rub in baggies.

Great news. I just got off the phone with the state health department and it couldn't have gone better.
They say I need to get a Home Catering Permit, which allows me to prep the meat in my home kitchen, smoke it by my house and then take it hot to the farmer's market to vend. My well water has to be tested but no mods to my kitchen are going to be needed. He was very helpful. He said that he was much happier that I aim to cook it and keep it hot. Said that most people get in trouble cooling and re-heating to sell. So, that was the key piece of the puzzle. I am going to submit my application to vend on Monday. Now the work begins in ernest.

That's why California SUCKS! I can't wait to move, one day, to a place where it's business friendly.

Jim, i would advise you to contact your county Health dept before getting your hopes up.
A home catering permit??? Have never heard of such a thing, state people sometimes have the habit of telling you what you want to hear.....check with your locals as their the ones doing the inspections. Otherwise, congrats my brother, you are well on your way!

The guy I talked to is THE guy. I called the Health Dept , Ag Department and other vendors at the farmer's market. He is at State Health Department, Department of Food and Lodging. He now has me in contact with the right person to get the Home Catering Permit.
Gotta LOT of work to do before mid May when the market opens.
