You are really lucky and rare then not to be regulated.
I know where I am, Wisconsin, anything that is cut for any reason is considered "processing" and has to be done in a licensed kitchen and you need a processing license.
Real big hassle here. It's gotten so bad that in some places where there are farmers markets, you can't even cut a melon or tomato to give a "sample". Not ALL my markets take that hard a stance, but unfortunately my biggest market does.
So anyone else considering this as an opportunity, be sure to check out your local AND state rules about processing FIRST.
