Weights and Measures Guidelines for Sales at Farmers' Markets, Roadside Stands and Other Commercial Outlets

Retail sale of fruits, vegetables, and other items is regulated by the Nebraska Weights and Measures Act. Vendors may erroneously believe that they are exempt from these regulations because they sell relatively little compared to a supermarket or because they only sell for a few months of the year; however, the Nebraska Weights and Measures Act applies to all sales. This NebGuide focuses on the sale of fresh produce at farmers' markets, roadside stands, and other seasonal outlets.
