Something else you might consider is contacting your local County Extension Service. Round here it doesn't cost you anything. They let you know where the local county markets are set-up and the times. Plus these permits allow you to set up folk's yards or empty street corners. All you have to do is ask permission of the person who is in charge of the area for permission.

You just tell the extension service that you will be selling assorted veggies, no need to itemize.

Round here you will see folks during the week with their trucks and a few with tents and tables on open street corners, areas that won't hinder traffic from folks pulling off the road. It is a great way for the smaller farmers to sell their produce that ripens during the times when they are not at weekend regular markets.

Once in a while, you will find somebody who has set- up in the wrong place, like the guy who decided to set up on a corner of the busiest and most dangerous 4 way and had traffic site blocked and local police asked him to move to another area.

It's a great way to get rid of excess produce so you not having to come home and make tons of juice.

Just another idea and something you may want to try.
