Dear Arts and Crafters!
I wonder if any of you can help. I am thinking of selling home made edibles at my children's school table top sale. I have never sold at such a sale before and never ever sold anything I have made so I am worried about how this is done and whether I am allowed to.
My first question is about selling home made chutney. I want to know if I am allowed to sell it in jars with company names on the lids. I was thinking anyway of covering the lids with cloth circles, but are there any legal implications for doing this?
Also, what could I charge for a jar of chutney? I was thinking of £2 a jar but I don't know if this would be reasonable or not.
Could anyone tell me where I could buy nice sticky labels to label my jars - not expensive though as the idea is very much to make money!
Any other tips/advice?
Also, has anyone any experience of selling wrapped sweets - things like peppermint creams/fudge. Does anyone know if it is possible to make a profit doing this? And where could I buy cellophane in which to wrap the sweets (thinking of making a little package, tied off with ribbon.....)
