Selling produce at the gate

[Angie]

Is there any restriction on selling produce grown in my garden (vegetables, jams etc.) at the gate, as is the norm in the UK?  No doubt someone would shop me to the tax people and it would end up not being worth my while.

I don't know anything about rules specifically to do with selling your own produce, but if you're likely to have a turnover of more than a couple of euro a week you could register as an auto-entrepreneur. Yes, you'd be waving goodbye to some of your takings but you'd be legal and it's the simplest way to run a business in France.

Fresh pruduce is not really a problem but jams etc should be made in a commercial kitchen that is why we no longer sell them on the markets too costly to set up.but you should be registered.

Steve, please do tell me where you buy your jam seeds, I've had no luck with Google. [:(]

Have you tried growing jam from cuttings?....I haven't had much success albeit my marmalade from peel was ok.
