do most ppl do it without a license, under the table, or do u even need a license? or permit? or what do i need to sell there?.--Answer1:Farmer markets are good! Depends on the place you go. most of them dont demand you to have a merchant licese. But if you wanna get a license you got to buy one. Theres web sites where u can get info on the process of a permit. If you make food and sell it, than 4sure you need a permit, and a health inspection. But the best idea, will be go to the farmers market that u wanna sell at, than ask someone there with a booth some questions.
