If you plan to sell your honey to roadside markets, convenience stores, health food stores, etc. you will need to register with SCDA and have your honey house inspected and approved by SCDA. Our Food Safety Officers perform food safety inspections under authority granted by the SC Food and Cosmetic Act section 39-25. If you sell your honey directly to the end consumer (at farmers markets) and produce no more than 400 gallons(4,800 lbs.), you can apply for registration and inspection exemption.Records, documents, and information made available by the agencies of the South Carolina state government or its subdivisions are made accessible through the South Carolina State Library Depository and are protected under U.S. Copyright law (Title 17, U.S.C.) and South Carolina state law (Title 30 and 60, S.C.C.L.).
