What is required in order for me to sell my backyard citrus?
Growers who sell directly to consumers do not need a citrus fruit dealers license. One must complete an “Affidavit of Grove Owner” which is provided by the Division of Fruit and Vegetables. One must also comply with Department of Citrus Rule 20-44(c) which states: “All sales are made on or directly from the tree or from a display bin or other open container and sales are direct to a consumer and not for resale or out of State transportation; such fruit shall not be placed in a bag or other closed container until after it is sold to the consumer.
