Selling Veg and Plants at Carboot sales

I'm interested in selling some of my veg and plants at a car boot sale

Anybody do this ? Success ?

Would I need a licence to sell veg at a car boot or put a sign at the bottom of the lane or sell them to local shops ?

Any advice/help would be great

Thanks

Would need to double check this but I am certain on my council run site the agreement states I cannot grow to sell!!!

(Oops my neighbour buys her potatos off me!!! :oops: )

Just thought I would let you know

 

I was killing time in central Birmingham recently and found a huge allotment area called the Uplands, in the Handsworth area.  I went on a long walk round it and saw that a lot of the local Asian folk were plotholders, growing things in vast profusions like 10 courgette plants or a half-plot of chard which had all been cropped together.  It struck me that a lot of this would end up being sold at the local Asian shops - and good luck to them, a great idea and hardly any food miles.

People round here sell them at their front gate.

Allotment Laws state that you cannot sell vegetables or plants from your plot! So i think doing that in a car boot would be a bad idea. What i do is give them away at work for small donations! Just "gave away" bunch carrots, 2 courgettes, bag of spuds, 3 beetroots, 2 handfulls of beans and some turnips and got £3 for it! Great for me for seeds, and they save tons on the supermarket prices and get fresh food!!!

If you dont have an allotment, then you can sell how you like i believe. When i was younger my dad used to sell his leftover veg to the local corner shop and made a small amount of cash!!
