Market Farming

["maury sheets" <maurysheets AT verizon.net>]

Steve,

You made me happy that I don't live in Maine (even though I love the state).
In New Jersey and Pennsylvania, we have regs, but not THAT onerous!  Only
local produce can be sold, you must be a farm (they come out to inspect),
and you cannot sell processed food or food out of the area like citrus.
Other than that, the program is a pleasure to participate in.  Pa. and N.J.
both give out four $5.00 vouchers.
