The USDA Risk Management Agency’s Community Outreach and Partnership AssistanceProgram generously provided funding to expand, update and print this edition.“Small Farm and Direct Marketing Handbook: Regulations and Strategies for FarmBusinesses in Washington State”We have two major goals with the Sixth Edition of the “Small Farm and Direct Marketing Handbook.” One is toexpand the content and the second is to make the format more user-friendly.New information on direct marketing strategies and specific products is in response to the frequently askedquestions we get from farmers around the state. We have also added a new section on “Running a SuccessfulSmall Farm Business” which includes information on direct marketing trends in Washington, taxes, licenses, labor forfarm businesses and accessing agricultural education and marketing opportunities.The Handbook’s new format is intended to make it easier to find what you need, to keep information as updatedas possible, and to be able to easily add new topics in the future. The design is inspired by Cornell University’s“Guide to Farming in New York State” developed by Monika Roth, a Marketing Specialist at Cornell.The Handbook includes a series of individual fact sheets organized around four major topics:Getting ConnectedRunning a Successful Farm BusinessDirect Marketing StrategiesRegulations for Specific ProductsThe fact sheets are designed to be brief and to the point.

It is an overview of those laws, not a completedescription and in case there are any conflicts, the applicable law prevails. When in doubt, always check with theagency responsible for implementation of these laws or seek legal advice.Page 1 of 2
