Sell & Earn

This is where we cover turning a productive garden or smallholding into income. Eggs, honey, veg boxes, preserves, crafts, and the routes to sell them, from a gate table to a local market. Expect the legal lines that actually matter (labelling, food hygiene, tax) alongside the pricing and packaging that make a small side income work.

Eggs are usually the first thing a household sells, and for good reason. Under 50 hens, sold direct to the person who'll eat them, needs no stamping, grading or producer registration. The same logic runs through honey, jam and cut flowers: sell direct at the gate and the rules stay light; sell through a shop or wholesaler and full commercial standards switch on. We cover both sides, plus the pricing and bookkeeping that turn a hobby surplus into something closer to a business.
