Scales:
Idaho State Department of Agriculture is responsible for inspecting scales at the Burley Farmers Market. Please be advised that there are some requirements you need to be aware of prior to selling your commodities. State laws regulate how items may be sold to consumers in retail and non-retail locations.
The same weights and measures laws apply to direct marketers of farm produce as they do to all other retailers. Scales must meet standards for commercial scales set by the National Bureau of Standards. The law in all states is that liquid commodities shall be sold by liquid measure and non-liquid commodities shall be sold by weight. The law permits other methods of sale, such as by piece, only where the method is in general use and does not deceive the consumer. One exception is eggs. They are sold by both count and size.
If you become a vendor you will need to get in Contact with Kevin Young @ Idaho State Department of Agriculture. If you do not do it before our Vendor meeting please bring your scale and Kevin will have a short time to help a few. If everyone waits until May 20th it may take some time. To make sure you do not have to stay longer, call him and get that out of the way before May 20th.
Cost: depending on the capacity of the scale, but usually $ 12.00 per year to have your scale certified.

it will take about 5 minutes to get your scale certified and up to code.
Kevin will be at the vendor meeting May 20, 2021
Time: 6:30 pm
Where: Cassia Fair Grounds, South Lawn off of Main and Elba Ave.
