hi all! i have been reading for awhile and have a question. we bought about 10 acres in nj and are slowly getting the property ready to farm. all is cleared that we planned on clearing and the pastures are planted.(i own a horse who will be comming home next year hopefully!)

my question is how do you find out all the codes or rules on farming. i have spoken to my local tax people about assesment and rules on fencing and barns....but there is sooo much more. like this question i have. around here there are lots of small farms that sell baked goods. do they bake the stuff in their own kitchens and sell or do they have to have a commercial inspected kitchen to do this? in other words is it different because they are a "farm" or do they still have to follow the local board of health codes for commercial kitchens?

hopefully someone here can help me with this or at least point me in the right direction.
